{"product_id":"topsail-island-b-j-cothran-9781531625825","title":"Topsail Island","description":"Topsail Island is a 26-mile barrier island, its pristine shores constantly shifting with the ebb and flow of the tides. This timeless treasure has long been known as one of North Carolina's best-kept secrets--a family-friendly beach--the kind we all loved as children and want our children's children to fondly remember. The island has always had a love affair with everything fishy--from piers to boats to businesses. In the late 1940s, the face of Topsail changed forever when the government seized the island for Operation Bumblebee, a top-secret mission to develop a supersonic missile. After the project ended, the three towns of Surf City, Topsail Beach, and North Topsail Beach grew and prospered. Bridges have played a huge part in Topsail's development, providing links to the rest of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e B. J.
