All about Topsail Island
Topsail Island, pronounced “topsl,” is a relaxed beach town with a rich nautical history. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, this 26-mile long barrier island in North Carolina is home to three small seaside towns, lush maritime forests, and plenty of spots to grab a fresh seafood dinner. Powder-soft sands beckon here for lazy days in the sun, while anglers come to Topsail to try their luck for drum and trout.
With a retro arcade, a roller rink that’s been virtually untouched since the ’60s, and a popular minigolf course, there is no shortage of fun to be had away from the sand as well. There are opportunities to delve deep into the Island’s maritime history, from rumours that the infamous pirate, Blackbeard, was a regular visitor here on his route from Charleston through to its importance as a military base during World War II.
What are the top things to do in Topsail Island?
Missiles and More Museum
From its history with pirates to its role during World War II, Topsail has its share of stories to tell. The Missiles and More Museum pays homage to the island’s history, put together by a local whose lifelong dream was to share those stories. Exhibits in the museum explore the island’s Indigenous roots, tales of Blackbeard’s treasure at the “Gold Hole,” and the story of Camp Davis, a World War II training center for anti-aircraft manoeuvres.
Fresh-caught seafood
Don’t expect to see many chain restaurants here. Dining options include shucking oysters with ocean views, mom-and-pop breakfast haunts, and restaurants offering lobster nachos. Just about everything here is homegrown and caught fresh. There’s good grub to be found at every corner of the Island, but head to Surf City for its lively atmosphere and innumerable beachside restaurants.
Beaches
The beach is the main draw here, and for good reason. Between wide stretches of sand, jaw-dropping sunsets, and long piers where fishermen haul in their catches, this is a sea lover’s dream. Rent a kayak and paddle through the waves, bike along scenic coastal paths, or just lounge on the sand, soaking up the tranquility and peace.
