Grayton Beach and its neighboring coastal communities are defined by a rare series of coastal dune lakes situated just behind the Gulf of Mexico shoreline. In this 2012 landscape, specialized water bodies like Oyster Lake, Draper Lake, Big Redfish Lake, Little Redfish Lake, and Western Lake pocket the coastline, creating a distinct hydrological pattern where freshwater and saltwater ecosystems meet. This era of development shows the planned growth of resort communities such as Watercolor, Seaside, and Seagrove Beach to the east, while the Santa Rosa Cemetery near Dune Allen Beach remains a point of local historical continuity.
