Local festivals and celebrations are held throughout the year to highlight the history and natural treasures found here. Being situated between Jacksonville and Wilmington, NC, you'll find plenty nearby to keep you and your family entertained and enjoying life.

There's fun to be had and lots to learn at the Topsail Island, Onslow County, and NC Maritime Museums; the Poplar Grove Plantation; Hammock Beach State Park; NC Aquariums; Croatan National Forest; and the USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial. If you like water sports, casual fishing, or just combing the beach for shells, you'll love hitting the waterway in your boat or driving over to North Topsail Beach. Spend the day with friends golfing at the North Shore Country Club or shopping in one of our specialty stores. You can also enjoy fresh local seafood and other delicious cuisines at one of our many local restaurants.
