Where In SoWal?

Just east of the Deer Lake magnolia cave between Deer Lake and WaterSound.

I've never heard of the Deer Lake magnolia cave. I'll have to google it. We love Deer Lake State Park.

It shouldn't be on google. It's a place where the edge of the dunes wraps around the base of a large magnolia and forms a sort of covered "cave". There use to be another one west of Grayton, but haven't been there in several decades.

Here's a new one for you:

Dunes at the southern most point of the channel between the two parts of Western Lake.

Can you get there on foot or are people restricted to being on the walkovers? Is it closer to Watersound or Watersound West. I was looking for it on Google Earth.

You aren't suppose to get off the walk-over, but some people have been known to do so... We use to wander the dunes before the park was ever there. If you follow the line where the forest ends and the dunes start, it is maybe a couple hundred yards east of the walkway.

Fun thread!

You can legally visit a dune cave - on the trail by the Gulf at Grayton Beach State Park.

Close - your hint of the day is, "ferry".

Old Ferry Road

The boat ramp at Pt. Washington??

The boat ramp at Pt. Washington??

Yes!

It was the site of the ferry scene in the Truman Show. Also the site of the actual ferry that used to run across the bay.

Old Ferry Road was the site of a ferry which ran across the intracoastal for a few decades. When they closed that ferry, the 10 minute trip from Bunker to Bay Elementary turned into a one-hour drive from Bunker Rd to 79 to 98 to 395. I heard some kids would swim across and walk.

Local Catch?

nope - east of LC.
