Alabama Position / Shell Seashore
There was a time when I believed that Perdido Move separated Alabama Position on the west side and Florida Issue on the east, but that would be also quick. So I searched Alabama Point on Google Maps, and it appeared on the west aspect of the move, just north of the bridge, which matches the geography perfectly plenty of, but not any of the beach front descriptions. As an alternative, I’ll defer to the park indication positioned on the japanese side of the bridge/pass that plainly states – ‘Alabama Level.’
This ‘Alabama Point’ matches the well-liked descriptions of a 6000-foot large white sandy beach with boardwalks that sales opportunities by the dunes to the ocean. I browse lots of reports of absolutely free parking, but the pay stations in the whole lot say if not. I even go through just one short article saying they “loved the browsing,” but I’m getting that with a grain of salt. My go-to resource, Magicseaweed, says, “Alabama seashore breaks are abominably fickle” but provides that it is “one of the very best options on the Alabama mainland” – even however Orange Seashore is technically on an island. They also location Alabama Stage on the west aspect of the move, so there’s that.
The identify video game does not get any far better for the jetties, which are key fishing places. The jetties leading into Perdido Pass are primary fishing spots. While some do snorkel here, we really don’t endorse it owing to the tides and anglers. Alabama Position is on the west facet of the move and Florida issue is on the east.
So let’s just say Alabama Point, aka Florida Level, aka Position East, is on the east side of the go with the corresponding park indication. This seaside has a moderately sized paid out parking ton and the aforementioned 6000′ white sandy beach. It also has restrooms, showers, and common food stuff vans, like the tremendous lovable Frost Bites that operates out of an Airstream. You’ll also be near to good eating at Cobalt, which has a kicking joyful hour from 3-5, which you can catch if you time your beach pay a visit to right.
Oh, what about Shell Seaside? It’s a modest, compensated lot, 900′ past the entrance to Alabama Issue, with no features. It is shut enough to be overflow parking for Alabama Stage if you need it. It is exactly where you will obtain Alabama Point Reef, one particular of Gulf Shores’ artificial snorkeling and diving reefs. It is located a pair hundred ft offshore and marked on the beach by two poles with crimson lights.
