Do you have a vacation planned to Topsail Island this winter but are not sure what there is to do? Then look no further, as we have a few things that we wanted to share with you. Staying with us at The Hive Suites will keep you and your family close to the fun. Let’s look below at three things you can do this winter with the family on the island.

Search for Shells and Shark Teeth

Topsail Island is known to many locals as a great place to find some of the best shells. There is also usually an abundance of shark teeth along the shore of our beaches. During the summer months, you may find that finding a lot of good shells and shark teeth is hard to come by. Winter months are one of the best times to see them as winter storms churn up beautiful shells, sea glass, and even shark teeth. What are you most excited about finding?

Go Fishing

Fishing is prevalent during the warmer months, but did you know that the fish still bite during the winter months? One of the best things is getting to head over to one of the many piers in the area and fishing for the day. The pier won’t be as crowded as well, which can make it more fun for the whole family to enjoy. There are three piers within the Topsail Island area for you to enjoy: Seaview Pier, Surf City Ocean Pier, and Jolly Roger Pier. Think of the new memories you’ll make by fishing with the whole family this winter.

Visit Serenity Point

Another place that is a hit for most who visit Topsail Island is Serenity Point, at the Southern tip of Topsail Island. You’ll find that this area is undeveloped and is perfect if you’re looking for a bit of isolation from the crowds. Walk along the shoreline as you hunt for those unique shells and shark teeth. Please note that there is a limited amount of parking spaces.

While there are plenty of other things that you can do this winter on Topsail Island, we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next stay with us at The Hive Suites, now is the time. We can’t wait to hear which of these things to do was your favorite this winter!

It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over, and the kids are back in school.

Staying with us at The Hive Suites will keep you and your family wanting to come back more. Look below how your family can enjoy your escape to our beautiful island.

Beautiful Weather

The weather in Topsail Island during the fall months is a favorite for many of our guests. The high temperature of 83° during the day and a low of 65° in the evening in September make a perfect beach day. During October, you’ll find a high of 75° with a low of 54°. You will see that during the fall months, it may rain a total of 8 days or so in September and about six days in October. With the weather still warm enough during the day, you can enjoy the beach with the family.

Less Crowded

Another reason to escape to the beach during the fall is fewer crowds. Imagine getting to head to the beach in the morning and not having to search for the best spot; there are plenty to choose from. If you decide to go to the Battleship, you won’t have to worry about it being super crowded unless on the weekends. You’ll be able to find a restaurant and not have to wait a long time, and there is very little traffic.

There are many other reasons to love the fall months here on Topsail Island, but we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next stay with us at The Hive Suites, now is the time. We can’t wait to see you and your family this fall!

Do you and your family have a trip planned to Topsail Island soon? If the answer is yes, let us share a few fun things you can do with the kids. Staying with us at The Hive Suites will keep you and your family close to the fun. See below for three fun things you can do with kids on Topsail Island.

Jolly Roger Pier

The Jolly Roger Pier is located on Topsail Island and is the perfect spot to do some local fishing. Here you’ll be able to fish for only $16 per person per day, or if you choose to walk on the pier, it’s only $2 per person. You may even spot a dolphin or a sea turtle at the end of the dock if you’re lucky. Jolly Roger Pier does have different packages that you can choose from. Think of the fun the whole family will have when you visit the pier and have a little fishing fun together!

Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center

Another great place that the kids may enjoy is taking them to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center. This rescue & rehabilitation center is in Surf City, but it can’t be missed. Take a guided tour around the Sea Turtle Hospital and see what they do to rescue these beautiful animals. You will even have the chance to adopt a Sea Turtle or a nest which is fantastic if you think about it. They also have a gift shop so that you can take home a souvenir or two to remember your visit.

Hunt for Shark Teeth and Seashells

One of the best things about visiting Topsail Island is getting out on the sand and enjoying the sun. Let the kids hunt for seashells and, even better, shark teeth while you’re spending all day there. Bring a mesh bag with you for each kid so that they can collect pretty seashells, sea glass, or even those teeth. Many remarkable things have been found in the sand, so it may be your turn to find one. What do you think their friends would say if they came home showing their treasure from the beach?

While there are many other things that the kids can do with the whole family on Topsail Island, we wanted to share these. If you haven’t booked your stay with us at The Hive Suites, now is the time. We can’t wait to hear which your favorite thing was to do with the kids!
