Choose Your Path

The great thing about the Alabama Gulf Coast is there is so much to choose from: beaches, nature, history, shopping, nightlife…enough to keep you busy for days.

With so much to choose from, having a plan—or itinerary—can be quite helpful. Maybe you want to spend a day or two checking out the nature scene—checking out Alabama’s Coastal Connection, the carnivorous plants and butterfly nurseries at the Biophillia Nature Center, bird watching at the Dauphin Island Bird Sanctuaries, and maybe a trip to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Another day could be spent exploring the area’s rich history at places like Fort Morgan and the National Museum of Naval Aviation.

Or maybe you want to gear your itinerary toward relaxation: spend the morning at the pool or beach with a good book (and maybe throw in a nap), get a massage and facial at a spa, then top it off with a nice dinner out.
