Holly Ridge

Travel Guide

Beautiful sunny morning
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.
Drone shot over the south end of Topsail Island.
We had amazing sunsets the first two nights, and then 5 days of rain in a row.

House was very close to beach access. Property was very clean and there were instructions for everything inside and outside the property. You can just pack your clothes and the house has everything else needed to enjoy a beach vacation. Would absolutely stay here again.

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.
