If you’re planning a North Carolina beach vacation, consider visiting Topsail Island. Topsail Island is surrounded by beach. With our Topsail Island beach blog, you can explore the best beaches in addition to beach news and weather.

The beaches of Topsail Island are laid-back and serene. You won’t find crowds on Topsail Island beaches! Just miles of sandy paradise. Families love to go shelling on the beach and create collections of Topsail Island memories with the shells. Sea turtles lay eggs on Topsail Island during certain times of year. If you’re on vacation during that time, you might be lucky enough to see them!

The waters around Topsail Island are perfect for swimming and often calm enough for stand-up paddle boarding or kayaking. Surfing is another big Topsail Island sport — you’ll find lots of surfing around Surf City, as you might expect. Water sports, like speedboating, are popular as well.
