Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Newman‑Dailey Resort Properties is proud to announce that its 2026 Earth Day Travel Package for stays at Sanctuary by the Sea and Sanctuary at Redfish along Highway 30A generated a $2,002 donation for the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance (CBA). The residential communities are nestled along Big Redfish Lake, and the donation will support ongoing conservation, monitoring, and restoration efforts for Walton County’s globally rare coastal dune lakes.
Throughout April, guests who booked a stay at Sanctuary by the Sea and Sanctuary at Redfish along Scenic Highway 30A generated a $26 donation to the CBA.
“Our team is committed to protecting and preserving our local waterways and Big Redfish Lake is one of the area’s rare coastal ecosystems in our region,” said Jeanne Dailey, founder and CEO of Newman‑Dailey Resort Properties. “We’re grateful to our guests for choosing to travel with purpose. Their participation helped us give back to an organization that plays a vital role in monitoring and protecting Big Redfish Lake and the waterways that define our coastal landscape.”
Big Redfish Lake is one of 15 coastal dune lakes located in Walton County. Recognized as rare due to the lakes’ intermittent connection to the Gulf, coastal dune lakes are found in only a handful of places worldwide. Big Redfish Lake’s unique blend of fresh and saltwater supports a diverse habitat for fish, birds, and wildlife, including redfish, mullet, herons, osprey, and native coastal species. The CBA’s work ensures these fragile ecosystems remain healthy for future generations through water quality monitoring, shoreline restoration, and community education.
Guests who booked a stay during the Earth Day promotion are rewarded with a coastal vacation that is enhanced by the scenic and recreational qualities of Big Redfish Lake. With direct access to the lake from both properties, guests can spend time kayaking, canoeing, stand up paddle boarding, fishing or simply searching for crabs and juvenile fish along the shoreline.
Both of these gated, residential communities offer natural beauty along with refined luxury and modern conveniences. Each property features a multitude of amenities, including multiple pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, firepits, gas grills, and direct access to Big Redfish Lake. Guests of Sanctuary at Redfish also enjoy scenic pontoon boat rides to and from the beach. Once at the beach, both properties include complimentary daily beach service of two chairs and one umbrella set up for the convenience of travelers seeking a relaxing and peaceful 30A escape.
