What is a dune lake? A dune lake is formed when water from the ocean makes its way behind a system of towering dunes creating a lake. Grayton Beach State Park offers three separate dune lakes making it an ideal place to enjoy birding, paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. The dune lakes provide a nice break from the beach and an opportunity to explore some of the rarest sites in the world.
