The quaint and peaceful town of Topsail Beach is a hidden gem in the Pender County of North Carolina. The gorgeous beaches and natural beauty of the island draw tourists all around the year. It also makes for a great place to live, on account of its tranquil atmosphere, family-oriented culture and unspoiled beaches.

The mild winters, delightful sunshine and beautiful backdrop add to the charm of Topsail Beach. The historic downtown area has a charming arts and culture scene that suits various interests. Fishing and golf are the primary leisure for residents, next to hanging out on the golden, sandy beach. The crystal waters of the Atlantic make you want to snag a boat, a board, a fishing pole or just a camera and binoculars to catch the stunning panorama.

The Southern hospitality is very apparent among the warm and unpretentious people here. The nearby Topsail schools offer a range of educational courses and extracurricular activities for students. Employment rate is low, crimes are almost nil and a variety of industries keep the local economy thriving.

Topsail Beach also has an interesting history behind it. It is believed that in the 1700s, the channel behind the island was a popular hiding place for pirates on the prowl. Unseen by the passing merchant ships, the pirates would attack them and loot the cargo. Once the merchants realized this, they started keeping a watch for the tops of the pirates’ sails showing over the rolling dunes, which gave the island its legendary name.
