Santa Rosa Beach includes the historic town of Point Washington where the Wesley Mansion, built in the 1890s, houses the largest collection of original Louis XVI antiques.

Topsail Hill State Preserve is one of the state's most pristine pieces of property; its beach, dunes, coastal lake and cypress swamp have remained nearly untouched since the first Europeans settled here five centuries ago.

Santa Rosa Beach offers several entrances to Point Washington State Forest, a 15,000-acre preserve with more than 10 miles of trails. For golf enthusiasts, 18 challenging golf holes await winding through the white sands and lush vegetation.
