ABOUT
TOPSAIL ISLAND - NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH
Located
at the north end of the island, this quiet community
may be hard to spot. It's mostly residential and does
not really have a defined central business district
like Surf City does. There are only a couple of restaurants
and one store in North Topsail Beach.
It
is the wildest part of the island. The sound side
is full of broken trees from the effects of coastal
storms and must surely be the way the island looked
before development began.
North
Topsail Beach is a fisherman's paradise. Stump Sound
is full of fish, clams, oysters and shrimp. New River
Inlet, on the north tip of the island is a favorite
place to fish. There is a large, hard sand parking
area for cars, and trucks don't seem to have any difficulty
driving out to the water's edge.
Canoers
and kayakers love the whole area because of the many
places with easy access to the ocean and sound.
There
are many beach accesses with parking areas open for
the general public, some with facilities, but there
are some modestly high dunes and bushes ...
If
you're thinking about bringing your boat through the
inlet, you'd better know what you're doing, the currents
are very strong.
