Join Conserve The Point for one of our favorite community celebrations, featuring oysters, beer, live music, good food, and great company—all while celebrating the coast we love.

The Oyster Roast for the Coast is more than a fall gathering. It is our annual celebration of the community’s greatest conservation accomplishment: the permanent conservation of The Point, now the Topsail Nature Preserve.

For years, people across Topsail Island and beyond came together with determination, generosity, and a shared belief that this remarkable place should remain wild and protected. That dream became a reality. Today, The Point is permanently conserved as part of the Topsail Nature Preserve, ensuring that this extraordinary stretch of coastline can be enjoyed and appreciated by generations to come.

While we’re celebrating what we’ve accomplished, we’re also looking ahead. Our next chapter is about helping more people understand, experience, and care for the remarkable natural places that make Topsail Island special. Every Oyster Roast for the Coast ticket helps support Conserve The Point’s coastal education programs.

Through education and outreach, we can help residents and visitors become better stewards of the coast and ensure that the story of The Point—and the importance of protecting places like it—continues to inspire future generations.

So when you purchase a ticket, you’re not only joining us for a great afternoon. You’re helping us continue the work.

Tickets are on sale now, and there’s a special reason to get yours early. Grab your early-bird tickets now, invite your friends, and make plans to celebrate The Point with us!
