Plan your next family beach vacation at Dauphin Island for tons of fun in the sun.

A trip to Dauphin Island, Alabama is a ramble back to the way vacations used to be.

Only minutes from the city life of nearby Mobile, the Island’s uninterrupted stretches of white, sun-washed beaches and lush maritime forests are miles from the stresses of everyday life.

On Dauphin Island, the fishing is fine and the food is always fabulous. Anglers can take a professionally guided tour into the Gulf of Mexico or Mobile Bay in search of flounder, bull reds and sport fish. Back on land, there is never a shortage of sweet Alabama Wild Shrimp, crab, homemade breads and other luscious southern dishes, too.

History never grows old on Dauphin Island. From the tall oaks and tall tales of the prehistoric Indian Shell Mounds, to the stoic structures and museum at Fort Gaines, yesterday could easily be today.

Bike and hike among tall southern pines and native wildlife at the famous Audubon Bird Sanctuary, then challenge the link-style fairways at the Isle Dauphine Golf Course.

The Island’s condos, rental homes and the family-style motel are affordable for any budget at any time of year and the shopping is sensational.
