Nearby Lil'TipSea:

Lil’TipSea is located in the heart of historic Topsail Beach between two public beach accesses (Empie & Haywood) with free parking, a short .2 miles (3-5 min) walk from the house.

Take in the stunning sunset views on the sound by relaxing on the public benches at the kayak launches in the neighborhood. Just down the road is Topsail Beach Town Center, you'll find restaurants, gift shops, and entertainment options. You can choose from the fishing pier, roller skating rink, arcade & putt-putt, or wine bar with live music.

There is also the Missiles Museum for tours on rainy days and weekly BINGO nights with prizes.
