What’s the best way to have fun at the beach? Let the locals show you how to do it.
The Medlin family, which has been living on Topsail Island for four generations, loves helping people make the most of their time on the island. Their store, East Coast Sports, is the place to get what you need for great outdoor experiences and building memories.
“The beach is our life, and we love the natural environment of the island,” says Chris Medlin, who manages the family-owned business with his wife, Chaundel.
“We are eager to share our knowledge of the island and fishing tips so that our customers can have the absolute best time possible. We are passionate about helping others enjoy themselves and live their best lives … island style.”
East Coast Sports is a one-stop shop for a day of outdoor fun, specializing in fishing gear, sporting goods and outdoor gear as well as high-quality brands of clothing, shoes and accessories for the entire family.
They carry brands such as Costa, Columbia, Salt Life, Local Boy, Hey Dudes, Penn, Shimano, Yeti and more, and they offer such things as beach games, volleyball nets, beach equipment, bodyboards, floats, life jackets, boat equipment and gifts. They can also help with fishing advice and charter information.
Their mission is to provide an enjoyable shopping experience with helpful assistance.
“Our family-friendly environment and large variety of outdoor retail selections allow everyone to find what they are looking for,” Chris says. “Our staff is always eager to assist and make our customers feel welcomed.”
