Coastal storm project underway
Surf City sits at the heart of Topsail Island — the barrier island shared by Onslow and Pender counties. The town offers oceanfront and soundfront living with a classic beach-town character. A major coastal storm risk management project (dunes, berm, walkovers) is underway to enhance shoreline protection. Flood zones apply; elevation certificates are typical for coastal purchase.
