Sightseeing
Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a 1,640-acre (6.6 km2) Florida State Park located in Santa Rosa Beach, 1.4 miles west of our house. The address is 7525 W. Scenic Highway 30A.
The park has opportunities for bicycling, birding, fishing, and hiking, and full camping facilities.
The park has over three miles of white sand beaches, as well as sand dunes, lakes, unique plant and animal life, and wetlands. It is named for a sand dune which stands nearly 25 feet above sea level. Topsail Hill preserve is home to a variety of animal life, including the endangered Choctawhatchee Beach Mouse.
The western entrance is served by a gravel paved road and leads to the primary beach access. The eastern entrance is unpaved and generally only accessible by four wheel drive vehicles. This entrance path leads to the northern shore of Lake Campbell, one of the three dune lakes contained within the preserve.

Closest and less populated beach access from our beach house. It's a 5 to 6 minute walk (0.3 miles) to Lost Sands Trail off of Stallworth Blvd. You'll need to cross Scenic Hwy 30A, which is a 2-lane, 25 to 30mph road, which can get busy. HOWEVER, there is a pedestrian sidewalk along 30A and a cross walk at the crossing point. (In our experience - cars in the area yield to pedestrians but you should still exercise caution.) From there, a straight shot to the beach along a sleepy side road!
