Stump Sound

This is our most family-friendly tour!
Situated on the north end of the island, Stump Sound provides explorers a real sense of what it means to be immersed in some of Topsail’s most beautiful natural areas. Stump Sound is known for its oysters that are embedded within the mud! The marshes are home to many juvenile fish and other marine life. Keep your eye out for dolphins and rays, along with an abundant number of various species of birds such as Ospreys, Great Egrets, Great Blue Herons and Kingfishers! Stump Sound tours are a must do for your vacation to see what these beautiful estuaries were like before Topsail Island and its surrounding areas were developed.
