Area Attractions

Topsail Island is located in between Wilmington and Jacksonville, North Carolina. Wilmington and Jacksonville offer the same amenities that other small cities do, and they also offer things to see and do that are unique to the coastal area of Southeastern North Carolina. So, if you are looking for major shopping, movie theaters, exploring plantations, aquariums and battleships, head to Wilmington or Jacksonville while on vacation here at Topsail Island.

While our island is known as a quiet family, friendly beach, Topsail Island offers many things to see and do on the island as well. We have several locally-owned restaurants, gift stores, fishing tours and golf courses for you to enjoy during your stay. Most of the retail stores and restaurants are located in Surf City, but Topsail Beach and North Topsail Beach offer great shopping and food as well. Below you will find a list of things to do - so go ahead and make plans accordingly.
