The idea of a day trip to Topsail Island is both exciting and a tiny bit frustrating.
The excitement is obvious — it is a wonderful place to spend a day — and the frustration is simply owing to the fact you’ll never cover all the fun things to do in Surf City, North Topsail and the other wonderful communities around the island.
My family has spent so much time on Topsail Island it is somewhat like a second home to us. If you are trying to pack it all in one big beach day, the following is a great guide to go by.
Breakfast on the island
If you’re arriving in time for breakfast on the island or nearby, there are a couple of wonderful options. While our favorite breakfast place has unfortunately gone out of business, there are other options.
The Daily Grind is a coffee shop and which offers not only traditional drinks, but donuts and pastries that will hit the spot. They have a variety of menu items both for food and drink.
They are located at 114 North Topsail Drive in Surf City.
If you’re looking for a quick donut to start your day so you can get on with the slew of adventures awaiting, hit up Daybreak Donuts. It was a hit with our family because of the variety of donuts available. You’ll enjoy the atmosphere and the donuts.
