coastal dune lakes

There is public beach access at the corner of Eastern Lake Drive and South Gulf Drive - Unfortunately you missed the rapids! Eastern lake was close to opening on Sunday morning and got assistance from some teen age girlls around 830 - By noon it was a full blown gusher!

Earlier this morning, Western Lake was about 20ft from the Gulf and someone had a narrow trench last night, attempting to open it, but it had been filled back in to stop the opening, so that the lake can open in its own time. Western Lake opens to the Gulf at Grayton Beach. The recent rains increased the elevation of the lake by a little more than a foot.

Big Redfish Lake in Blue Mt Beach is probably still running from all the rain we got last weekend.

Little Redfish opened on Sunday and still may be trickling.

You can park at the 83 walkover and head east.

Camp Creek blew through a couple of days ago. Very cool.

I filmed the recent breakout at Eastern Lake and put it on YouTube.

Western Lake is now flowing out, blowing toward Seaside.

That's pretty cool Lake View Too!

thanks so much everyone!

This video from yesterday at Grayton Beach, shows that Western Lake was still flowing out into the Gulf of Mexico. SEE VIDEO.

The Gulf has been washing into Western Lake all day, bringing in the cool, clear, emerald-green, salty water.

Nice!
