North Topsail Beach Town Park — Attraction in North Topsail Beach

This is a dog friendly beach and it is a great location. It has ample parking and is about 30 minutes from Jacksonville. It's not a far walk from the water if you park on the southern most lot.

The beach has patrols on quads that will come ask you to keep your dog on it's leash. There's tons of shells to find in the area. Lots of agates and quartz. This place is excellent for beach combing. The water is warm and waves are good for boogie boarding. Highly recommend water shoes as the shallower parts of the water are...

The kids enjoyed the fenced in playground. While we were there, a few people were playing on the basketball court nearby. There is a covered picnic table beside the basketball court. There is also a short walking trail through a wooded area. (This trail is for walking only, no bikes.) One trail leads to a small pier. On the other side of the picnic area is a walking path to a gazebo over the water. Parking right next to the park is paid parking. However, there is a free parking lot right across the street. You can also start a biking/walking trail here. The trail is paved. The trail runs beside the road but is not on the road itself. The trail ends at the town hall, at the bottom...
