Just a short drive away, Topsail Island has wonderful restaurants and beautiful beaches. Go for a walk at sunset or fish at the pier!

One of my family's favorite things to do together is to play pickleball! This is our favorite court; it's right on the water. It can be found by typing Kerr St Recreation Center on your phone :)

Also, a short drive from Jacksonville is Hammocks Beach! It is right on the water and has walking trails all over! A bonus is that it is very close to downtown Swansboro, an adorable beach town with shops and restaurants.
