Getting here: Travel tips
About half an hour's drive northeast of Wilmington,
this 27-mile-long island includes three towns. The island got its name in the 1700s, when only
the topsails could be seen on ships sheltered in the deep channel behind the dunes.
The swing bridge on N.C. 50-210 crosses into Surf City, which includes the island's
main business district.
Turn right, and you'll end up at Topsail Beach on the island's south end. This
is a quiet town of small motels and beach cottages.
A left takes you to North Topsail Beach, which includes high-rise hotel and
condominium projects. A high-rise bridge links North Topsail with the mainland towns of Sneads Ferry
and Jacksonville.
