Dune Allen Beach, Florida

Dune Allen is an established community that surrounds Lake Stalworth, the first of 17 coastal lakes, which are unique to this part of the world. The lakes actually interact with the tides, forming their own biological communities. You'll see them dotted throughout South Walton County, just another cue that you are in a very special place.

Dune Allen's other coastal lake, Oyster Lake, is actually shaped like an oyster shell, and was once filled with oysters! Families who visited Dune Allen for "holidays" would picnic on its shores, and if the water in the lake was high, the men would dig a trench from the lake to the gulf to get the water running off. The effect was to lower the water level to make it easier to catch fish and gather oysters!
