Topsail (pronounced “TOPS’L) Island is one of the best-kept secrets
among East coast beaches. Topsail is a 26-mile long barrier island
like no other in the world, the last of the rural beaches, where
families can vacation as a family and renew those bonds so often
ignored in the rush of everyday life. Close your eyes and feel the
warm summer breeze caress your face as you listen to the wind and
the rhythmic rumble of the breaking waves, the scream of a gull as
he dives for a minnow, the laughter and splashing of the children in
the surf. Smell the salt air and fresh coffee brewing as you watch
the morning sun rise bright and streaked on the horizon. Life here
is total relaxation. Miles of white sandy beaches for quiet walks or
just relaxing in this quiet family area may be just what you are
looking for.
Activities are abundant on and off the island. Swimming, sun
bathing, shells and sharks tooth hunting, dolphin watching, deep sea
charter fishing, fishing piers and surf fishing, jet skies,
miniature golf and go carts, kayaking, biking, rollerblading, scenic
boat and airplane tours; scuba and snorkeling, sailing, tennis and
water skiing. There are four championship courses nearby to
challenge the golfer with the greatest finesse.
Casual attire is the rule everywhere on Topsail. Island cuisine not
only caters to the seafood lovers, visitors have choice of ethnic,
gourmet or traditional American selections. You’ll be telling your
friends for a long time to come, “what a treat”.
