Situated on the Florida Gulf coast in between Pensacola and Panama City in Santa Rosa Beach is the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park – a pristine natural haven with stunning landscapes and diverse ecosystems. The park encompases over 3 miles of prisitine white sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico. We walked to both boundaries while we were there. The name “Topsail Hill” originates from the high, wind swept dunes that resemble ship sails.

The park is home to rare coastal dune lakes, a unique natural feature where freshwater and saltwater intermingle, creating a habitat for various plant and animal species. The park has plenty of trails to explore – just be careful of the rebar used to keep the wind erosion down.

Summary – This State Park is a real gem with plenty to do – walking, biking, swimming and close enough to a large variety of amazing shops.
