Read This Book!! Topsail Island: Mayberry by the Sea by Ray MacAllister

I read this book and ABSOLUTELY loved it. Ray McAllister has come to Topsail Island and captured its history, lure, beauty, and enchantment.

Here is a quote from his book:

"Why stay at Topsail Island?

It's easy to see why. Because of its small land area, Topsail has not been subject to the massive development of island communities like Nags Head to the north and Wrightsville Beach to the south. Indeed, it remains largely in the idyllic state those places knew half a century ago - a small beach town with few commercial trappings, a family haven...a paradise where it's possible to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean and set over Topsail Sound from the same cottage."

With chapters on real life pirates, secret military operations, the bear that swam to Topsail, the fishing, families who have returned yearly for a quarter of a century and more, it is a must read!
