Located in Blue Mountain Beach, Sanctuary at Redfish is a 64-unit resort nestled within the natural vegetation along one of South Walton's rare coastal dune lakes. Four pools, two jacuzzis, large fire pit, outside grills and private pool cabanas are just a few of the amenities on this 14-acre property. A pontoon boat takes guests on a scenic five minute ride through Big Redfish Lake to the beach.
"We know this property is very special and important to the coastal ecology of the region," said Captain Bob Sellers, who runs the pontoon boat. "A big part of our effort is education. We educate guests on the fragile dune system and explain why walking on the dunes is not permitted. We also share information about the lake and the many species that make it their home," said Captain Bob.
