Exceptional Lakes of 30A Instructor: Brandy FoleyEnjoy lunch at one the most famous restaurants on 30A while discovering a global phenomenon: coastal dune lakes. Dune lake formations are only found in a handful of locations around the world, and Northwest Florida is one such cluster. There are 15 dune lakes along the 30A corridor which are both unique to this area and distinct from each other. Many of the coastal dune lakes have an outlet that connects the freshwater lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, creating a mix of fresh and saltwater. The intermittent outlet connection creates dynamic water conditions within the lakes and allows for a diverse range of plants, animals and ecosystems. The group will take a short walk to observe and learn about a local coastal dune lake and its wildlife. After, lunch is “on your own”. For more information, please visit www.theredbar.com.
