Seaglass Lookout Guidebook To Surf City
Must for Kids
Must visit for little kids! We personally know the owners and staff and our boys spend HOURS there every trip we take. My oldest catches fish in the ocean and brings them to the aquarium too. They accept donations :) It's also a great stop during those rainy or colder days. They change their operating hours all the time so always visit their FB page to double check their open hours. /topsailaquarium

Bring a couple dollars of CASH to get on with the family. We always walk from the Seaglass Lookout to the Pier each trip and end up seeing Dolphins, Jelly Fish, Rays, Surfers, etc. The fishermen are also so kind to the kids and love to show them their catches of the day.

Stake Your Beach Spot Early During High Season
High Season on TopSail Island runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day! So the beach fills up with families from all over the country - especially on those sunny days. We normally leave our chairs and umbrellas at the base of the outdoor stairs and claim our spot first thing on the sand first thing in the morning before we make breakfast. It's what the boys and I do as part of our routine. No one will touch it or move it - plus you can see it from your balcony. Gives you peace of mind to know you got your favorite spot before the whole beach fills up during the summer.

Bring a flashlight or headlamp to the beach with kids at night. You can spot crabs digging throughout the beach. They'll love it!
