Places to Eat & Drink!
Among the plethora of dining options, a few of our personal favorites include Sears Landing, Low Tide Steak House, Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar, Margaritas Mexican Grill & Cantina, and JM's on the Water, these are just a few. Topsail Island offers a wide range of restaurant choices and I have never had a bad meal at any we have visited. Furthermore, for those with an appreciation for crafted beverages, this area boasts several breweries, with a couple more currently under construction! One of my favorite places to unwind is the Salt Marsh Market. Inside this specialty grocery store you can peruse a curated selection of gourmet offerings, handpick your preferred bottle of wine or beer from the coolers (they offer unique choices as well as domestic), grab some delectable snacks from the shelves, and unwind at the bar or the outside picnic area. I highly recommend grabbing a loaf of bread, and a bottle of the dipping oil, yummy!
