North Topsail Shores Beach

North Topsail Shores, located on the north-western end of Topsail Island, is a relatively quiet and unspoiled stretch of beach. With its soft golden sand, rolling dunes, and clear blue waters, it is a perfect destination for those looking to escape the busier beaches further south. 

The waters off North Topsail are generally excellent for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding, with gentle waves making it accessible for all skill levels. Fishing is also a popular activity, with anglers casting from the surf or visiting the nearby Seaview Pier for a chance to catch flounder, red drum, and bluefish.

North Topsail is great for spotting local wildlife, with frequent dolphin sightings just offshore and sea turtles nesting on the beach during the summer months. The nearby marshes and Intracoastal Waterway provide further opportunities for kayaking and birdwatching.

With its laid-back vibe, natural charm, and stunning coastal views, North Topsail Shores is perfect for those looking to experience the best of North Carolina’s beaches without the crowds.
