These rare bodies of freshwater are formed when rainwater pools behind sand dunes created by wind blowing across the coastline. The area surrounding these lakes is home to unique wildlife such as alligators, bald eagles, shorebirds, butterflies, and more! Visitors will also find plenty of nature trails perfect for an afternoon hike or bike ride.
