Abstract:

Recently divided into several real estate developments, Topsail Island, located between New River Inlet and New Topsail Inlet, is the longest stretch of coastline in North Carolina entirely surrounded by water. Located in Onslow Bay, Topsail Island is removed from river sources, making it a premier spot for clear water and fishing. Used as an early cargo port as well as by the Navy during war, Topsail Island has a varied history that extends throughout the 20th-century.
