Topsail Hill Preserve State Park

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a coastal preserve in Santa Rosa Beach featuring Gulf beaches, freshwater lakes, and sand dunes. The property encompasses varied natural habitats across its terrain, with dunes and wooded areas backing the shoreline.

Early settlers named the area after the white sand dunes that resembled ship sails on the horizon. The landscape was shaped by natural coastal processes over time.

Florida's Green Lodging program recognizes the park's commitment to environmental protection through sustainable practices and conservation of natural resources.

The park provides camping areas, overnight cabins, and walking trails for different visitor preferences. A tram service connects the main facilities to the beach, making access straightforward.

The preserve contains rare coastal dune lakes that form specialized ecosystems found only in this region. These water bodies support animal and plant species adapted to this specific environment.
