Located in both Onslow and Pender Counties, Topsail Island is a legendary 26-mile-long barrier island with three small, unique towns and only one stop light.

Each of Topsail Island's three towns has something wonderful to offer. North Topsail Beach, located at Topsail Island's most northern section, is a serene residential community with spectacular oceanfront properties. Surf City splits its territory between the island and mainland and serves as the commercial hub for Topsail Island. Accessible only through Surf City, Topsail Beach rests nicely on the southern end of the island and is a quiet area with year-round homes that compliments a distinctive downtown shopping area.

The preservation of its history and environment are important to Topsail Island residents. The Missiles and More Museum in Topsail Beach meticulously maintains the islands proud past of early Native Americans, explorers, pirates and more for future generations to admire. Local volunteers run both the Topsail Turtle Project and the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, working to locate and monitor loggerhead turtle nests to see that the young make their way to the sea and that sick or injured turtles are cared for until they are safe to return to the ocean.

With access to spectacular boating, fishing or just exploring through the New River and New Topsail inlets and the Atlantic Ocean, there is something for everyone who is lucky enough to call Topsail Island their home.
