ABOUT
TOPSAIL ISLAND - SURF CITY
Located
in the middle of Topsail island, Surf City starts
over on the mainland, crosses over the swing bridge,
and extends north and south several miles from the
central business district.
Most
of the business on topsail Island that cater to beach
visitors are here in Surf city, with gift shops, beachwear
shops, and fishing equipment stores.
Many
of the restaurants on Topsail Island are also in surf
City, including several located right at the edge
of the beaches.
Several
fresh seafood stores are located in surf city near
their boat docks, and a lot of the fish goes straight
from the ocean to the boat to the store.
Surf
City is also home to lots of working fishermen. Take
away all the touristy stuff and you would be left
with a thriving coastal fishing village. The waters
around Topsail are rich fishing grounds, and you will
see boats of all kinds and sizes. "Head"
boats take lots of people fishing for a day or half-day
outing. Commercial charter operators will take smaller
parties out to fish for certain kinds of fish, or
to certain areas to fish.
At
just about any time you'll see the fleets of shrimpers
and other commercial fishing boats working along the
waterway, sounds and offshore.
