Topsail Island Restaurants and Places to go
Onslow County is home to beautiful North Carolina beaches, none more beautiful than those of North Topsail Beach. With over 12 miles of uncrowded and family-friendly sandy beachfront, North Topsail Beach is the perfect place to vacation all year round.
Getting here includes driving across the high-rise bridge onto Topsail Island, where the awe-inspiring view of the wide-sweeping ocean is both attention-getting and a great welcome to North Topsail Beach. In the distance, a string of beach cottages on the horizon forms a long, rainbow-colored line, marking the place where the blue ocean meets the sandy beach. Upon arrival, its time to be as adventurous or as lazy as you’d like!
The Town of NTB offers various paid parking accesses plus a 4×4 permissible driving area located at the north end of the island off River Road. Visitors must download the SurfCAST by Otto smartphone app to pay for a parking permit pass. More information can be found at www.ntbnc.org. Plus, Onslow County Parks & Recreation offers parking along with restrooms and showers at no charge at three access points.
