The Last Mango, Italian Ice & Ice Cream

The Last Mango is a little ice shack outside Drop In Surf Shop on Island Drive, serving Italian ice and Blue Bell ice cream across the road from a North Topsail beach access. Grab a cup after a surf session or on the walk back to the house.

What stands out

The review base is small, but it points the same way: a relaxed, family-run stand that’s easy with kids, with the convenience of being right by the beach. Mango and piña colada ices both get praise. One visitor arrived just before closing to find it already shut, so don’t leave it to the last minute.

What to order

• Mango Italian iceThe namesake, and a visitor favorite.
• Piña colada iceAnother flavor visitors remember.
• A scoop of Blue BellFlavors like salted caramel brownie, from the Texas creamery’s lineup.
• Something bright for the kidsThe ice board has run to flavors like Blue Swedish Fish, cotton candy and strawberry lemonade.
