Topsail Hill Preserve State Park
Topsail Hill Preserve State Park provides visitors with 3 miles of pristine beaches and is a bird-watching and hiking paradise. Named for its dunes, which rise like a ship’s sails over soft sand beaches and the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. There’s a $6/day per car cost to enter the park (in and out privileges allowed). There’s a shuttle to the beach access point (bridge/walkway to the beach). Can be less crowded than some of the other access points.
