Topsail Island is Beautiful

One of the main things that attracts people to Topsail Island is its beauty! If you're a beach lover, this is the place for you. Miles of sparkling waters and sandy beaches set the perfect backdrop for retirement in paradise! Spend your mornings enjoying the dolphins playing in the Atlantic, stroll local shops during the day, and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening to the sounds of the waves. You'll also love the small-town charm and close-knit communities.

The Weather is Nice Year-Round

Here in eastern North Carolina, we're fortunate enough to experience all four seasons! This is great because it means no single season wears out its welcome. You can expect January through March to be fairly cold, however we don't typically get much snow locally. April through June things start warming up and blooming, then July through September is the hottest time of the year. Temperatures during the Summer months are usually in the 90's. Finally, October welcomes cooler weather through the rest of the year, perfect for breaking out those sweaters and sweatshirts we all so love! 

There's Plenty to Do

No matter how you enjoy spending your free time or what hobbies you're in to, there's something for everyone here on Topsail Island! We have a wonderful cultural and historical community, as well as an abundance of fantastic local shops, boutiques, and restaurants. We also have a few great breweries, bakeries, coffee shops, and ice cream shops. If you enjoy the outdoors, there are several great sporting goods stores for all of your fishing, boating, and kayaking needs! If you're looking for fun, you can enjoy several putt-putt courses, axe throwing, a few arcades, skating rink, an escape room, and more. We also have world-class golfing, so you can spend your days golfing and chilling on Topsail Time! Great self-care is also easy to find locally, with several wonderful full-service spas and hair and nail salons.

The Water Is Calling
