Things To Do on Topsail Island
Topsail Island is a hidden gem along the NC coast, known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming coastal towns like Surf City. From sunbathing and swimming to fishing and surfing, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy on this beautiful island. Explore the local shops and restaurants, take a fishing cruise out with an area fishing guide, or simply relax on the beach and soak up the sun. With so much to see and do on Topsail Island, your vacation will be filled with unforgettable memories and moments of pure relaxation. Topsail Island is a 28-mile-long barrier island made up of marshes, estuaries, dunes, and shorelines. Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, “Tops’l” as the locals call it, is home to several fishing piers including the Seaview Fishing Pier. 875 feet of planks were used to construct this pier, which is the longest pier on the North Carolina coast. Privately owned shops, restaurants and attractions abound on Topsail, as well as the neighboring mainland towns. Learn the history of Topsail at the Missiles and More Museum and understand how to be a good steward of the sea at the Touch Tank Aquarium in Surf City and the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center for laid back and family friendly things to do on Topsail. Each of these attractions offers its own unique charm and adds to the allure of a vacation on Topsail Island.

Guest Access:
Our properties are individually owned, and our guests will have use of the entire property! Please refer to the listing for details.

The Neighborhood:
Things To Do on Topsail Island: Topsail Island is a 26-mile-long barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, home to the beach towns of Surf City, North Topsail Beach, and Topsail Beach. Spend your days swimming, surfing, fishing, or relaxing on the sand. Cast a line from one of the island's fishing piers, including the Seaview Fishing Pier in North Topsail Beach, the Surf City Ocean Pier, and the Jolly Roger Pier in Topsail Beach. In the summer months, you can book a fishing charter or rent a pontoon boat or jet ski. Around the island, you'll find locally owned boutiques, family restaurants, and ice cream and fudge shops. Soundside Park hosts outdoor movie nights and seasonal events on the Intracoastal Waterway. Learn the history of Topsail at the Missiles and More Museum. Families can explore marine life at the Topsail Aquarium in Surf City and, in season, tour the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center by reservation. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure, local dining, or a peaceful beach escape, Topsail Island offers something for every visitor.

Getting Around:
Parking may be limited during the summer months (public parking is available through Pivot Parking at an hourly rate). Surf City/ North Topsail Beaches are easily navigable once you're here. Our beach town is very accessible and family-friendly for vehicles, bikes, and golf carts. Renting bikes and golf carts is a breeze with the many rental companies on the island. Advanced reservations are recommended. For a change of pace, take a scenic Tiki Tour through the Intracoastal Waterway.

Fantastic vacation

Great location and property. There was a beach cart on the property, but we rented a golf cart which proved to be invaluable for getting all the people and stuff to the beach. Kids had a great time crabbing off the community dock across the street from the house.

Beautiful vacation home!

We had a wonderful stay at Cape Island Escape. We had a large family group of 19, ranging in age from 18 mos. to over 60, plus two small dogs. There was plenty of space for everyone! We all said it's the nicest beach house we've ever stayed in. We would love to be back!

Family reunion on Topsail Island

We had a wonderful family reunion at this beautiful property. Walking distance to the beach, and very accessible to Wilmington and entertainment. Everybody had their own bedrooms, and the living room and patio areas were large and conducive to everyone being able to visit into the late hours. The movie room was awesome! Great place, and we hope to do this again next year!

Thanksgiving Stay

Brought 5 families together at the house to celebrate Thanksgiving. The house had a ton of room and was in a great location. Nice quiet neighborhood and close to the beach. Had a couple of items that could have used a cleaning but they were small and didn’t mention to the owner. Overall great place to stay and would go again.

Successful Family Beach Week

Our family comes together for a week at the beach every July. I live locally, but the rest travel…two families from as far as Mobile, AL and Boston, MA. The challenge has always been finding a property big enough to provide a week of comfort for all family members big and small at an affordable rate. We were ALL extremely satisfied with the space the property offered…for time together at meals and during game nights as well as allowing room to spread out and relax alone or in small groups. The neighborhood is lovely and peaceful. The proximity to the beach is easier than we first thought. The younger ones really enjoyed the community pool too. The management company were terrific with communication when we needed anything. We would definitely consider booking again! Thank you for opening your home to us!!

Problems:

I sent messages to let someone know that the dishwasher stopped working for some unknown reason. Also the corn popper started smoking with nothing in it when tried to use it. Would have been beneficial to have instructions on how to use the equipment in movie room.

Pros - Beds were extremely comfortable and high quality. Outdoor living spaces (decks) were nicely furnished and perfect for relaxing.Cons - kitchen does not have sufficient cookware for the number of guests. There was only one 8" pan and zero cookie sheets. There is a musty/mildew smell in the house. A/C was broken on upper level and a single window unit was provided to cool the area instead. Single unit was insufficient and the upstairs stayed at 78 during the day.
