Enjoy our watery-playground. Catch a wave on a surfboard. Search for seashells. Drop a line and fish from the Jolly Roger Pier or the Surf City Ocean Pier. Take an adventure down the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on a cruise aboard the Belle of Topsail or the Tiki Queen.

We are home to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center where sick and injured sea turtles are nursed back to health. See ‘sick bay’ where endangered sea turtles are treated and ‘turtle bay’ where loggerhead, Kemp’s ridley, and green sea turtles are introduced to visitors.

If history is what you treasure, visit the Missiles and More Museum, where rocket and missile technology was developed in a top-secret program called Operation Bumblebee. Or travel inland to Moores Creek National Battlefield, Southeast North Carolina’s only National Park, the site of the first Patriots’ victory in the Revolutionary War.
