• Surf City is located on Topsail Island, a barrier island off the coast of North Carolina, just south of the Outer Banks. It straddles the counties of Onslow in the north, and Pender in the south. It is well known for its beautiful beaches, and is a sanctuary for sea turtles. Historically, it is known as one of the pirate Blackbeard's hideouts, and people still search for his buried treasure there today.
