Figure Eight Island North Carolina Last Updated: 06/13/2026 |
| Figure Eight, measuring 1.5 km (5 miles) in length and 1,300 acres (approximately 1,220 ha), lies northeast of downtown Wilmington. It is surrounded by a series of smaller, unspoiled islands and the bustling resort town of Topsail Beach to the north, and by another coastal town on a barrier island to the south – the well-known Wrightsville Beach. | |
| As a privately owned island, Figure Eight is only accessible by boat or via a guarded swing bridge. | |
