Three miles south of Mobile Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, keep an eye out for a dolphin's fin cutting through the clear waters. You must first cross a three-mile-long bridge to reach the beach's white sands and fiery Gulf sunsets. Beachfront lodging options and well-liked pastel resort condos are available driving directions nearby. Spend a day discovering life in the water at the aquarium, in the air at the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, or from the past at the Indian Shell Mound Park when you need to treat that sunburn.
