Topsail Beach has the feel of a classic family beach spot, no high-rises, no traffic, friendly folks everywhere. Even in peak season, there's never a crowd on the beach. Second, even though it's small Topsail Beach has all the amenities, with a grocery store, restaurants, seafood shop, souvenirs and even a church nearby. Finally, it's easy to get to, either by driving or flying into Wilmington airport less than an hour away.
