What are the climate conditions like within the dunes?
With sand, high drainage, salt water flooding, salt spray, wind and don t forget FULL sun, life in the dunes is pretty tough. So tough in fact that some plants can only flourish in the back dunes, away from the water s edge and the higher winds of the fore dunes. Although conditions are only slightly milder on the back dunes, the range of vegetation that will grow on the back dunes is much higher than the range on the fore dunes.
