Holly Ridge Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Beautiful sunny morning
The Kenneth L Batts park has a new walkway on the island that extends across the marsh and to the intracoastal waterway. It is a perfect place to walk out and see the sunset.
Saw this guy coming in for a landing. The pelicans have started their migration north; the island was full of them while I was there.
Drone shot over the south end of Topsail Island.
We had amazing sunsets the first two nights, and then 5 days of rain in a row.

This property was amazing in every way. We were able to bring our dog. I have never stayed at a house where everything is provided, from shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee, towels, sheets, beach chairs and boards, etc. The back yard was a wonderful surprise. We had a fantastic time!

I may have uploaded a few from here. It's because I always love coming here right before sunrise and watching the waves come in. Today it was very calm. I was able to get a very dark mood with the rainclouds in the background.
