North Topsail Beach occupies the northernmost section, and Surf City, the largest town on the island, is in the center.

A bit of history About Topsail Island

Folklore states that the island was named Topsail (pronounced Tops'l) because pirate ships hid behind the island with their topsails visible from the sea, the name came from New Topsail Inlet.  This inlet's name can be found on early navigational charts with the other Topsail Inlet located in Beaufort, N.C.  Soon after J.G. Anderson developed the southernmost end of the island and named it New Topsail Beach, the island itself was called Topsail.

The Town of Topsail Beach has boasted a friendly, family oriented style of beach living ever since its incorporation in 1963. High rise development is not allowed in the town. Beautification is encouraged and conservation of the island environment is a top priority. There are over 1,200 beach homes, but only about 500 year-round residents. The seasonal influx of tourists increases the population to approximately 7,000 people, which helps sustain the town's motels, restaurants, gift shops, fishing pier and other businesses.

Vacationers may enjoy sunbathing, swimming, surfing, fishing or whatever watersports they most like to participate in.
