Check out our adventure guide to choose your next activity.

Ready to get outdoors, feel the sun on your face, and make memories with your family and friends? Don’t go without checking out our adventure guide and stocking up on supplies here at East Coast Sports first. Below, we’ve put together an adventure guide that outlines some fun, family friendly activities that are popular here in our quiet beach town.
East Coast Sports
Water Tubing

Equally thrilling and unforgettable, water tubing is for the adrenaline junkie. Hook up a tube to the back of your boat, and your rider will speed across the water until you either stop or they fall. Pick up your tubes at our store before you head out! And after you’ve worn your kids out tubing, take them to nearby Soundside Park for a picnic or fun on the playground.

Water Skiing
Another great boating activity, water skiing is a classic form of fun that takes balance and a little bit of practice. We have skis of all sizes, so grab a pair for your kids or a new pair for yourself at our store.
Fishing
Take your boat out and find your next catch! We sell fishing licenses and also know several local, trustworthy fishing captains in the area if you’re interested in booking a fishing charter.
Boating

Sail by Surf City Pier, enjoy the beautiful water below you, and try your hand at fishing. Whatever way you plan to spend your next boating adventure, make sure you have the right lifejackets – we sell child and adult lifejackets, so everyone in your family can stay safe.

Swimming

Topsail Island is a favorite beach spot in our area. Grab your beach umbrella, a cooler of drinks, and your towels and spend the day swimming in the ocean or lounging on the sand.

Paddle Boarding
Paddle boarding is all the rage right now, and the water here in Surf City is gentle enough to take out a paddle board and cruise around. We sell paddleboards if you’re ready to try out this popular watersport.

Excellent place.

 
Testimonial

“This is a fantastic place. It has everything you need for a day’s fishing or a day just full of adventures. The staff was very helpful and went above and beyond with customer service. Excellent place; will return again.”

I want to give a huge shout out to Jerry Brooks at East Coast Sports for spooling one of my 80W. He is the only person on the island Hillbillie's Guide Service trust.

Everyone, if you need a reel spoiled, don't hesitate to see him. He will get you tight and even offers deliver to the beach 🏖️🎣🐟🦈🔥

A really nice local tackle shop. They have everything you need. I wish there prices weren’t $1-$2 more than Eastern Outfitters because I would shop here more since it’s closer to the house.

Zack Rhoades
I opened up my own Chartering Company for sharks this past year and the assistant manager Jerry at East Coast Sports has been nothing short of remarkable. He spools all my reels orders everything I need and I know when I ask him something I'm getting an honest answer. They also carry Cortland Braid which Jerry recommended, let me tell you I use the 130 pound braid on my shark rods and 15 pound braid on all my redfish rods, I never get wind knots and I don't break many fish off, this stuff is awesome. Go stop in they will make you feel like family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Zack.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Maverick. If there is ever anything we can do to make your shopping experience better please feel free to reach out.
Stephen Whaley
Great selection of tackle, clothing, rods/reels, maps, some advise on local fishing trends. If you've never fished in your life, and need everything, this is your one stop place to be. Bring family to shop upstairs for quality clothing. No cheap stuff here, but high quality goods price fairly. Family oriented, so bring everyone even if they're not fishing. Almost forgot...want to try crabbing, looking for clams, also the place to go.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Stephen. If there is ever anything we can do to make your shopping experience better please feel free to reach out. We are definitely a family shop. We have three generations working at any given time.
Bobby W
Lots of nice sporting goods.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Bobby. If there is anything we can do to make your shopping experience better please feel free to reach.
Giulia Watier
Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. They set my hubby up for surf fishing and I bought some cute earings.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Giulia. If there is anything we can do to make your shopping experience better please feel free to reach.
