Surf City is a town in Onslow and Pender counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina.

The Pender County portion of Surf City is part of the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Onslow County portion is part of the Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 3,867 people, 1,272 households, and 870 families residing in the town.

Until late 2018, road access to Surf City was mainly via the Topsail Island Swing Bridge, a failing steel truss swing-span bridge, built in 1954, which crossed the Intracoastal Waterway.

The unusually wide design is intended to permit three lanes for hurricane evacuations.

These items will be displayed in the new Surf City Town Hall as a historical memorial.
