Rare Coastal Dune Lakes Along 30A
The phenomenal coastal dune lakes of Scenic 30A are some of the amazing natural wonders you will find in this area. These are generally permanent bodies of water. While water levels may significantly vary due to rain, the groundwater seepage through the surrounding coastal sands, and storms. What separate the lakes from the gulf are sand dunes with height that ranges from a few to more than 30 feet. These treasured geological features are rare worldwide and are almost exclusively found along the Gulf Coast in the United States.
With fifteen named dune lakes that intermittently connect with the Gulf of Mexico, it is a wonder how these lakes were formed by wind between 2,000 and 10,000 years ago. The incredible coastal dune lakes along 30A include the following:
