This popular attraction is also known to many of its fans as Topsail Hill State Park, but that shortened name leaves out one of the park's outstanding features.

The preservation efforts at this park have saved some of the tallest sand dunes and beautiful beaches of any other place in Florida.

This is one of the most beautiful beach parks anywhere.  The sand dunes are higher here than in any other Florida park.

The dunes slope gently down to spectacular white sand beaches and the extremely clear water typical of so many panhandle beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.

There are plenty of other natural resources in this park in addition to the more than 3 mile long beach. 

These include three coastal dune lakes where you can enjoy freshwater fishing from the shoreline only since no boats are allowed.
