Emerald waters lap against sugar-white sand where locals debate which stretch of Gulf shoreline truly deserves the 'most beautiful' title. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park hides rare coastal dune lakes among its dunes, creating freshwater swimming spots just steps from saltwater waves. The 30A Bike Trail connects beachfront communities where pastel cottages house art galleries and seafood joints serving grouper sandwiches on paper plates. Blue Mountain Beach offers a quieter alternative to bustling Seaside Beach, where the amphitheater hosts sunset concerts. Surfers paddle out at dawn while golfers tee off at Santa Rosa Beach Golf Club. Come evening, families gather at Seaside's central green where children chase each other as the sky turns impossibly pink.
