Sandy Shores Medical Center & Urgent Care

About Sandy Shores Medical Center & Urgent Care

Sandy Shores Medical Center & Urgent Care is a walk-in urgent care and medical center serving Surf City and the wider Topsail Island community. Surf City sits in the middle of Topsail Island, and Sandy Shores is part of the everyday rhythm for year-round residents, vacationers, and island visitors who need prompt care for a non-emergency health concern without scheduling an appointment in advance. The practice handles acute but non-life-threatening situations — everyday health needs that require timely attention but not a hospital visit. With a 4.4-star Google rating from 281 reviews, it has built a solid track record among patients from across the island and mainland Pender County. Open seven days a week, including weekend hours, it provides access on days when most medical offices in the area are closed — a meaningful convenience for vacationers who get sick mid-trip and for residents who need care on a Saturday or Sunday. Located on N.C. 50, it is easy to reach from the main corridor through Surf City.
