Used to live in house 50 yards(if that) east of that water tower. From 3rd floor balcony had an unobstructed view of the Hilton house, 90% of Alys was undeveloped. I bet you can't get a peek at it
anymore.

It's almost built out!

That little quadrant in the lower left, $18M times 30 or 40...I'm not sure I can do the maths.

Many folks don't know about "Grayton Dunes" seen here in the foreground. In the old days kids used to play in them and create summer-long pirate forts. They are part of Grayton Beach State Park and where the forest starts the park has cabins for rent. In this photo you can see "New Grayton" & "Old Grayton, A smidge of Alligator Lake outfall and Western Lake outfall. In the far background is Panama City Beach.

Looking west in the other direction we see Little Redfish Lake, Redfish Lake, Blue Mountain Beach, Gulf Place, Dune Allen Beach and beyond to Sandestin and Destin.

Your aerials of the Coastal Dune Lakes are simply awesome. I would like to see some more visions of Eastern Lake because, right now, Eastern Lake is the most endangered Coastal Dune Lake on the planet.

I do wish there had been a decent buffer between lake and development in days of yore. I'm sure the dunes that were leveled and built on were spectacular. It would be so amazing for every SoWal lake to have 100 yards or so of natural shore and vegetation with walking trails and a few common docks.

Back in the 70's Grayton Dunes was prime hunting ground for Indian artifacts. There are probably enough pottery shards buried out there to pave a parking lot. I found this arrowhead in that very area when I was a kid. Still have it!

Our pottery hunting grounds were from Eastern Lake to Camp Creek. We found maybe four partial arrowheads but no intact ones. However, we found plenty of good, decorated pieces of pottery and we were able to glue some of them together into an almost fully intact urn and it is now in the Florida Archives Building, Tallahassee

A lot going on in this Alys Beach photo.

Seagrove at noon today.
