Many consider Holly Ridge as the gateway to Topsail Island’s beautiful North Topsail Beach and, as such, this natural coastal area is known for its recreational opportunities.
The region’s strong military ties are evident here, as Holly Ridge is the home of historic Camp Davis, which served as an important anti-aircraft training center during World War II. The U.S. Marine Corps reestablished the camp and the airfield in 1954 and it remains active today.
Holly Ridge has wonderful places to eat from delicious BBQ to fresh seafood. Plus, enjoy coffee and events at Coastal Blends of Holly Ridge. Be sure to follow Town of Holly Ridge see events happening during the event from the Holly Ridge Bee Festival in April to Liberty Festival.
