The Gulf Coast

The Gulf Coast

The charming and historically rich Gulf Coast region of Alabama is best known for its beaches but has so much more to offer. Mobile is home to a number of museums as well as the WWII-era USS Alabama battleship. Dauphin island has a plethora of wildlife and is known for its salt marshes and unique vegetation. Fairhope, a quaint historic town, has had an influx of new residents over the recent years that are attracted to its one of a kind shopping, historic atmosphere and small town vibes.
