Topsail Island Community Information

Topsail Island (pronounced Tops’l) seems caught in a time warp as it still retains the air of the classic small family beach resort, a place with few commercial trappings whose devotees return generation after generation. The 26-mile long barrier island is located between Wilmington NC and Jacksonville NC and consists of three towns: North Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Topsail Beach. The island is accessible by an old-fashioned swing bridge in Surf City and a modern high-rise bridge in North Topsail Beach.
