NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH, Onslow County — North Topsail Beach will receive more than $3 million to help with beach restoration efforts, according FEMA.
More than 137,000 cubic yards of sand will be replaced and over 365,000 dune anchoring plants will be replanted. This will help restore some of the damage caused by Hurricane Florence.
