Santa Rosa Beach and the neighboring coastal communities along the Gulf of Mexico are defined by a unique series of rare coastal dune lakes. These geographical features, including Western Lake, Big Redfish Lake, and Draper Lake, punctuate the shoreline, creating a distinct hydrological pattern where freshwater basins sit just behind the primary dunes. The elevation reaches a local high point at Blue Mountain, overlooking the Gulf.
