They are barricaded now, rendered uninhabitable by storms.  The buildings were placed directly in the line of natural sand dunes, which are supported by sea oats.  The buildings killed the sea oats, and so when a storm arrived, the dunes washed away &#8212; along with the undersides of the buildings.  Now the building code is different, so I&#8217;ve been told. Along the state park, sea oat replantings are underway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Henderson%20BSP%20sea%20oats.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Henderson BSP sea oats.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Henderson%20BSP%20sea%20oats-thumb.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a really beautiful state park, an oasis of nature tucked into the middle of Destin.
