Topsail Island is a low-key, family island with an exquisite beach. Visit the unique Sea Turtle Hospital, the museum which shows the military history of Operation Bumblebee and the petrified shark's teeth found all over the island, rent 4-seater bicycles, take a boat-tour and see where Dawson's Creek was filmed, catch the plentiful fish, canoe through the marshlands, and best of all, swim in the ocean and relax on the clean, uncrowded, white sand beach! Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular, as is the abundance and variety of birds.
North Shore Country Club's excellent golf course is open to the public and just off the north end of the island.
There is even an old time roller rink in Topsail Beach!
Visit historic Poplar Grove Plantation nearby, Tour Wilmington and the retired US Battleship North Carolina.

Comment: Once again we totally enjoyed ourselves at Merlin's place. We spent a long weekend there Oct 19-22nd..the weather was unusually warm and we actually got a sunburn. We always feel as if we are "coming home" when we rent Merlins place. It's such a relaxing place to stay. Kathy McGinn
