## Nearby

- **Topsail Beach** (~15 min) — Quiet stretches of open Atlantic and gentle sound-side access, fifteen minutes from the door.
- **The Intracoastal** (~5 min) — Kayak, paddleboard, or watch the boats from the end of the road. The water is never far.
- **Hampstead & Surf City** (~10 min) — Local seafood, coffee, and everyday essentials without the tourist crush of the bigger beaches.
- **Wilmington's Riverwalk** (~35 min) — Historic downtown, restaurants, and the river. A worthwhile day trip when you have one off.

## For healthcare assignments

The house is commonly used for assignments at New Hanover Regional (NHRMC) in
Wilmington, Novant Health Pender in Burgaw, and Naval Medical Center Camp
Lejeune. The neighbourhood is residential and low-traffic, which matters for
anyone sleeping during the day between night shifts.
