Topsail island offers a lot to the tourist looking for a quieter beach experience. Everything from kayaking, pier fishing, sun bathing, surfing, great seafood, shopping, you know...the normal beach stuff, but topsail is different. Hard to explain, but many people I talk to speak of how they have been coming for decades, and it's they prefer here over any other beach trip destination. New visitors say this place is unique and wonderful. If you want a place to unwind, have a care free vacation, this is your place.
This is the view from the north tip of Topsail. Slowly giving itself back to the sea this part of the island doesn't have a long life to go. To the north is Camp Lejeune, a marine base.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Very nice change from the very commercialized beaches I'm use to. Just enough shopping and entertainment nearby to be fun, but still quiet enough to be relaxing.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Safe, Quiet, Close to Beach, and distances you away from Jacksonville which is very busy on the weekends.
