Stump Sound and the intricate network of bays and islands define this coastal landscape on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement of Holly Ridge sits inland, while the barrier topography of Topsail Island hosts beachfront developments such as North Topsail Beach and Sea Haven Beach. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of residential growth to the Intracoastal Waterway, which snakes through the marshes and channels.
