Beach is NOT a short walk. You will either take the Tram or Bike about a 1/2 mile then walk over the dunes before you get to the beach. We did not enjoy that part of Topsail. But we found if you drive out the exit turn right and drive abit down that road there are other beaches that are a quick walk over the dune from the parking lots. We enjoyed that beach.
It is a short walk if you're used to walking. :) It's 3/4 mile from the campground to the restrooms, bicycle parking, tram stop at the beach. The walk across the dunes is via a very nice boardwalk and it's only 1/4 mile long. We love the beach and the access at Topsail. To each his own.
