An idyllic spot where sparkling crystal water meets dazzling snow white sands, Topsail Hill Preserve State Park at Santa Rosa Beach Florida is the prettiest state park we’ve ever seen. Bike paths abound. This place is a bicycle paradise.
The Gregory E. Moore RV Resort is delightful, even though we are “stuck” in what is most likely the worst of the pull-thru sites. If you choose carefully, there are lovely sites to be had.
The beach is gorgeous, surrounded by a fascinating long-leaf pine and palmetto ecosystem. I saw my first Eastern Towhee this morning, a lovely little bird.
If and when it rains, more description and pictures will follow, as time allows. Note to the E’s: VERY nice cabins for visiting relatives.
Beauregard is all tucked in, so the boys head out on a walk. Duke has been the perfect little gentleman, which is more than I can say for many other snarly little dogs around here.
Dogs are not allowed on the beach at any of the Florida state parks, which is not a bad idea. The ecosystem needs all the protection it can get.
Nice back-in sites.
Bring padded bike shorts. Your butt will thank you. Reckon we biked over 15 miles the last two days. It feels great to get the required muscles back into shape.
Overcast, but still quite lovely.
Off for another bike ride. Stay tuned!

Lovely ... lovely ... I enjoy the moodiness of a beach when the sky is overcast and threatening rain.
