Our Community is Your Community

Come join us every other Tuesday at Topsail Beach Town Hall for Bingo at the Beach! Grace Anne Talbert, born and raised in Surf City and self proclaimed "salty beach", tends to take the big door prize every dang time, but we don't let that keep us down. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! We'll see you there!

World Class Surf Fishing

Head on down to Thomas Tackle & Seafood for live bait, rent a rod and belt for the night and set up for some surf fishing. From makos to striper to spottail the size of semis, you never know what you might pull out of the waves.

If standing in the sand sounds like a young man's game, the nearby pier offers plenty of prime real estate to pull up a chair and drop a line. NC record flounder was pulled out of the very waters below Hugh's Hotdogs just past Surf City Ocean Pier! Now, Hugh's wife Linda says to take that story with as much salt as he sprinkles on his crispy crinkle fries, but let yourself be the judge.
