Sample only. Nothing was sent.
The area
A day, well spent.
No itinerary required. Just a few good possibilities, a short drive or a barefoot walk away.
Fort Morgan
A 19th-century fort with ramparts to climb and a ferry that crosses the bay.
Tacky Jacks
Dockside dinner, boat traffic, and the kind of sunset that gets applause.
Gulf Shores farmers market
Saturday mornings. Peaches in summer, satsumas in winter, bread year-round.
Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo
Small, shady, and walkable in an hour. The sloth is the main event.
Bon Secour refuge
Trails through dunes and maritime forest, ending at a beach with nobody on it.
The game shelf
Puzzles, cards, a record player, and a shelf of paperbacks left by past guests.
Gulf State Park pier
Rent a rod, watch the pelicans work, and walk out over the water at golden hour.
Sassy Bass
Fried shrimp, cold drinks, and sand still on your feet. Nobody minds.
Nothing matches that combination. Try fewer filters.
Guest notes
Said on the way out.
Left in the guestbook on the kitchen counter.
★★★★★
We planned to go out every night and ended up on the porch every night instead. No regrets.
★★★★★
The walk to the beach is exactly as short as they say. The kids counted.
★★★★★
Quiet, clean, and the kitchen actually has sharp knives. We'll be back in the off-season.

The Dune House
Getting here
The quiet end of the peninsula.
Fort Morgan Road runs west until the road, and the hurry, run out. We're near the end of it. About 1 hour 15 minutes from Pensacola airport, 1 hour 45 from Mobile.
