Spot Guide
Topsail Island is a 26-mile barrier island with laid-back, uncrowded beach breaks that fire on SE swells. The long stretch of shifting sandbars means you can always find a peak breaking somewhere along the island. Intermediate to advanced when waves are up, though North Topsail Beach offers beginner-friendly conditions on smaller days. The island has a WWII missile testing history and a sea turtle hospital.
