Rare uninhabited NC barrier island. Great for swimming, hiking, fishing and shell collecting.

If you bring your boat to our dock or rent a boat, be sure to visit undeveloped Lea Island, a protected bird sanctuary and local boaters-only beach

An Audobon Society preserve, this uninhabited island between Topsail Beach and Figure Eight Island is our favorite boating destination. The family's absolute favorite beach.

Just be sure to stay off the marked areas during bird nesting season.
