Topsail Island Description
Topsail Island is a 26-mile (41.8 km) long barrier island off the coast of North Carolina, USA just south of Camp Lejeune, the Bogue Banks, and the Outer Banks. It contains the communities of North Topsail Beach, Surf City and Topsail Beach. It is also a sanctuary for sea turtles, and for the sea turtle rehabilitation center. The island lies in two counties: Onslow is the north, and Pender the south. There are only two ways to get on or off the island: the high rise bridge on the north end or the swing bridge that brings you into Surf City,
