Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is a Florida state park of about 1,637 acres (662 ha) along the Gulf of Mexico in Walton County, northwestern Florida. The park lies in Santa Rosa Beach about 10 miles (16 km) east of Destin, with entrances off U.S. 98 and Scenic Highway 30A. It is named for a prominent white-sand dune whose profile, viewed from the Gulf, was said to resemble a ship's topsail.
