Topsail Beach Florida





By the way, today is Debbie's birthday but that is all I can say about that. Happy Birthday!

This is a really nice State run RV Park that was private and was taken over by the state and the beach is being preserved as a natural area. The interior roads of the RV Park are all paved as are the RV sites. We happened to find a site on one of the lakes in the park.

There is a shuttle that will pick you up and drive you to the beach, its about a 1 mile walk so with beach chairs and a cooler, it is nice to have the open air shuttle to pick you up. A lot of the regulars have little mini trailers hooked to their bikes to haul their stuff back and forth without having to take the shuttle.

The sand is like sugar, great to walk on. There is a tradition here where everyone leaves their shoes and flip flops at the beach side of the walkway that crosses over the sand dune. Walkng barefoot on the sand here is the only way to walk on the sand according to the regulars. This is such a beautiful beach and area, we hope the oil spill doesnt damage this beach. We did see some small dark pieces that looked like 1" pieces of tree bark but its really small pieces of oil. The regulars said those were not normally here. On the east coast of Florida you will see these pieces of tar now and then so that is why I asked if this is a normal occurrence or not.
