Hiking, camping and wildlife spotting at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park
Dune Allen Beach is a premier location for reconnecting with nature. The area is home to sprawling beaches and five coastal dune lakes, a rare geographical feature found only in four other countries. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park has secluded beaches, dune lakes and sand dunes that stretch for miles, as well as campsites and fishing spots. The park is perfect for observing some of Florida’s native wildlife and enjoying the tranquility of nature. Beachgoers can hit the sands at Dune Allen Beach’s two regional beach access points, Fort Panic and Dune Allen Beach Regional Beach Access. Hikers and bikers can hop on the paved, 18-mile Timpoochee Trail that runs the length of Scenic Highway 30A and connects to the other coastal communities that line the picturesque road. The neighborhood is also close to Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club, a renowned facility known for its manicured fairway. “You can’t mention Dune Allen Beach without mentioning Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club,” says Richard Stafford, a real estate broker with Tommy Sholes Inc. Property Appraisers. “It’s private, but it’s almost like golfing on a big nature preserve.”
Divers enjoy the underwater museum of arts.

"With a name like Stinky's, it better be good!"
Dune Allen Beach is largely residential, so residents and visitors leave town for groceries and shopping. Stinky’s Fish Camp is the area’s only restaurant, but it makes up for it in spades. This multi-level eatery sits on Allen Lake, one of South Walton’s coastal dune lakes, and serves up fresh seafood and drinks with a side of live music. Next door is Stinky’s Bait Shack, which sells live and artificial fish bait, fishing tackle and ice-cold beer. Stinky’s hosts the area’s two largest fishing tournaments, drawing both local and visiting anglers alike to compete for prizes and respect. Shoppers can head to Publix in South Walton for groceries, or Walmart on U.S. 98.

Environmental factors
Hurricanes, high winds and flooding are a risk for Dune Allen Beach. However, the Florida building code dictates that buildings constructed after 2003 must be able to withstand severe weather.
