Learn more about Surf City

Topsail Island's golden beaches beckon with waves that break perfectly along the iconic Surf City Pier. Locals and visitors alike paddle out at dawn, competing for prime spots in the lineup. After catching morning waves, refuel at waterfront restaurants where seafood arrives so fresh it practically introduces itself. The main drag offers quirky surf shops where salty-haired staff provide insider tips on the day's best breaks. Southside Park provides a peaceful alternative when the beach gets crowded. For post-sun recovery, Inis Spa and Back in Touch offer massages that somehow extract sand from places you didn't know existed. As evening approaches, the pier transforms into a gathering spot where fishing lines dangle alongside sunset-watching families.

Saltwater Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great Just need an air conditioner in the elevator"

Loggerhead Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with our stay! Great location; close to beach, restaurants etc. The pool was good. There was a nice outdoor shower for after the beach. Chair rental was very convenient. We found it to be quiet, clean, well maintained, and great hidden amenities such as laundry, and bikes, amongst others. The art work and furniture make it feel more boutique like; definitely not your run of the mill chain hotel! The staff was pleasant and accommodating. This hotel hass everything you could need for a beach stay!!! I would definitely recommend!"
