MARINE ECO-FRIENDLY
The beaches along Scenic Highway 30A feature many unique works of natural beauty. Two of the most ecologically vital are the coastal dune lakes and the artificial reefs. It is imperative that they and the marine life that live within them are cared for properly.
Found in only a handful of places around the world, South Walton has fifteen of these temporary estuaries and nursing grounds where fresh and salt water mix.
Scenic Highway 30A Map: Coastal Lakes & Artificial Reefs
There are sixteen artificial reefs created and maintained by SWARA for recreation and conservation. There’s even an underwater art gallery!
Endangered sea turtles nest on our beaches from May through October. Help them by keeping our beaches clean, dark and flat!
