History hangs upon Mobile and the Alabama
Gulf Coast like
the Spanish moss that drapes her live oaks.
Already old when the Civil War began, Mobile is
distinguished from younger cities throughout the
state by her rich Spanish, French, African and
Creole heritage. History is reflected not only in
the architecture of Mobile, but in cuisine and
cultural diversity. Mobile has always prospered
because of its strategic location. A deep bay and
harbor area offered a perfect shipping port. The
barrier islands of Gulf Shores and Dauphin Island
were ideal for military strategists. There they
built strong forts to assure that only welcome
guests ventured into the bay. Mobile's five
historic house-museums, which are open to the
public year-round and display artifacts native to
this land, and treasures brought from far away.
Further south along the 32 miles of beach from
Gulf Shores to Orange Beach lies Alabama's crown
jewel. This area features plenty of public beach
areas with top amenities -boardwalk, picnic areas and bath
houses. All types of accommodations are available
from high rise condominiums to chain hotels and
bed and breakfasts. Beach rental companies all
along the shore offer a full range of personal
watercraft., charter sails and cruises, parasail
rides and diving expeditions are also popular
activities. Charter fishing and diving are also
popular activities. The area boasts more than a
dozen top golf courses, water parks, shopping and
fresh seafood. |
