Topsail Island, NC
"Welcome to Island Time"
Where memories are made
Best places in America.
Welcome to the Greater Topsail Island area, where live and recreation roll with the tides. When you cross our iconic Swing Bridge or the High Rise Bridge, you have entered Island Time, where the pace is slower and life is better.
The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabiliation Center is one of our most visited attractions.
The island enjoys the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west
Voted one of the top 10 plantations to visit, Poplar Grove Plantation is antebelle splendor.
Welcome to our home, where beautiful beaches and a glimmering Intracoastal Waterway set the stage for a vacation getaway.
Cross the iconic Swing Bridge and bask in an environment we call "Island Time" - a time zone that moves at a slower pace, where life glides with the tides.
Topsail Island is dotted with family-run hotels, motels, and beach houses. Our restaurants cook up the freshest seafood catches on the coast. Our boutiques and shops are as casual and stylish as our lifestyle. Visit our turtle hospital that rescues hundreds of endangered turtles each year. Take a boat cruise and enjoy watching the dolphins in our waterway. Sample our history which is rich with pirate legends and a legacy propelled by rockets. This is Topsail Island, where Island Time is your time.
