Where we stayed: Main Street Inn
I know most people stay in houses on beach vacations, but I didn’t want to have the responsibilities of shopping and cooking, so we looked for a hotel. Renato found the Main Street Inn. I had mixed feelings about it:
Eating during A Week on Topsail Island NC
Eating was really the most stressful thing about this vacation. Since we were in an apartment with only a dorm fridge and a microwave, we couldn’t really cook for ourselves. There are wayyyyy more people than seats in restaurants in this town so be prepared for super long wait times.
Breezeway Restaurant
We went to Breezeway on our very first night in Topsail because it was close to our hotel. We had to wait about an hour for the table, but luckily the scenery entertained us during that time.
Shaka Taco
Shaka Taco is not a table service restaurant. You need to wait on a (really long, but relatively quick moving) line to order food, and then someone brings it to your table. We thought it was pretty good!
Sugar Kingdom
If you know me at all, you know that candy is one of my most favorite things. Sugar Kingdom’s website boasts “the ultimate candy experience” and they may actually be correct! This is the BIGGEST candy store I have ever been to.
Island Delights
If you’re in the market for classically kid friendly food (read: FRIED), try this 50’s style diner. Island Delight’s setting is awesome, but the food not so much.
Beach Shop and Grill
I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Beach Grill…and the food was also pretty good!
