Town Rules & Ordinances

1. Vehicles are not permitted along our beaches. This includes recreational vehicles, ATV’s, etc. There is a vehicle access located at the North end of Topsail Island, at New River Inlet. You may drive 4x4 vehicles at that location, only as far as the Marker Posts direct you. Driving past the markers can result in large fines, issued by the Town of North Topsail Beach.
2. Pets are not allowed on the beach unless they are being led by a leash. You must also remember that it is your responsibility to clean up behind your dog and not leave your pet’s “droppings” on the beach.
3. No Glass is not allowed on the beach. You can carry coolers, but you must assure that none of your containers are glass. You must also remember to clean up behind yourself. There are several trash cans located at each access, and at crossovers all along the island.
4. Do not leave your cigarette butts lying on the beach. Again, proper disposal of these items will keep our beaches looking clean and inviting. Failure to comply with this will be treated as littering, and you can be fined accordingly. “A single cigarette could cost you several hundred dollars.”
5. No fires are allowed on the beach. This again offers heavy fines.
6. No camping along the beach; you will be fined and asked to leave.
7. No grilling on the beaches; this again will result in fines. There is also no grilling to be done within 50 feet of a structure. This includes condos, houses, or any structure.
8. No fireworks are to be set off anywhere on the island. This includes private drives, private property, balconies, decks, the beach or anywhere.

Undertows and other underwater currents will quickly take you away from your location and possibly out to sea. This happens very quickly.
