Topsail Beach, NC

We had an amazing week at Topsail Beach, NC this summer! We enjoyed the beautiful beaches, lots of fishing, and a relaxing week together. We rented a house on the sound side of the island, and could easily walk to the beach across the street or visit other beaches along the island. 

The kids enjoyed catching crabs and fish near the house.

Checking out the beach and pier.








Beachnastics time.

We bought a tent for the beach because it was hot and windy and was as welcome retreat.
The boys loved fishing from the pier, and especially liked seeing sharks in the water.





More beach time.


At the southern tip of the island was a beautiful beach where we went for sunset a couple of nights. We kids enjoying doing more salt water fishing from the shore and caught a lot of fish.











Our last day we went on a charter fishing boat for near shore fishing, and it was so much fun! To say we caught a lot of fish is an understatement. In the 3 hours we were on the boat, we caught well over 50 fish. If we planned this trip earlier we would have kept a few to cook, but we were leaving the next morning and gave all the fish to the captain and his son.












Lots of mackerel, ladyfish, and other fish I don’t remember anymore. Here’s a few of their catches.






It was such a fun trip, and well-needed family vacation before school starts on Monday!
