Spring Getaways for Couples: Topsail Island, NC Style
A Nearly Private Beach for Two
Spring in Topsail has few crowds and extremely pleasant weather conditions. In fact, this is the perfect time of year for you to enjoy the nearly private beach. Catch a glorious sunrise over the Atlantic, enjoy long walks hand-in-hand with your partner, or lounge the day away in the warm sunshine.
Another great way to enjoy the beach is with a romantic picnic for two. Pack a romantic picnic basket, with a little NC flair, filled with special treats. Fresh fruit, a cheese board, a box of wine (no glass on the beach, please), and simple sandwiches are all excellent additions.
Before or after your picnic, go on a shell hunting adventure. A collection of seashells, gathered by the two of you, makes an ideal keepsake from your getaway.
At night, spread out a blanket and go stargazing with your special someone. You may even get to wish on a shooting star.
