Topsail Hill takes its name from its tall dunes, which rise like a ship’s sails above the Gulf. Behind them lie rare freshwater dune lakes, old-growth pine forest, scrub and wetland, home to 13 imperiled species, among them the Choctawhatchee beach mouse. There are three miles of beach, a tram to the sand, and cabins, bungalows and campsites for a longer stay.
