The Kenneth L Batts park has a new walkway on the island that extends across the marsh and to the intracoastal waterway. It is a perfect place to walk out and see the sunset.
Saw this guy coming in for a landing. The pelicans have started their migration north; the island was full of them while I was there.

This property was perfectly located to the beach, exceptionally clean and well maintained. We went in October so it was a slower season. We loved it… you could open the door and hear the crash of the waves. Beach access was simple and just across the street. Town is walkable for the most part. During ...

Everything at the house was great, the only thing I wish the house had, it would be a table cloth or table mats. The access to the beach was easy.

I may have uploaded a few from here. It's because I always love coming here right before sunrise and watching the waves come in. Today it was very calm. I was able to get a very dark mood with the rainclouds in the background.

Topsail island offers a lot to the tourist looking for a quieter beach experience. Everything from kayaking, pier fishing, sun bathing, surfing, great seafood, shopping, you know...the normal beach stuff, but topsail is different. Hard to explain, but many people I talk to speak of how they have been coming for decades, and it's they prefer here over any other beach trip destination. New visitors say this place is unique and wonderful. If you want a place to unwind, have a care free vacation, this is your place.
