Alabama

Waterfalls in Alabama
Alabama doesn’t have a large coastline, but the 32 miles of sparkling white sand and turquoise water south of Mobile are spectacular.
Whether your kids are interested in animals, science, history, or something else entirely, Alabama offers plenty of things to see and do for the entire family.
Alabama surprised me. I came for the scenery, maybe a little bit of history—but what I found was something richer. A kind of stillness in the air that made me slow down and listen. From quiet trails under mossy oaks to soulful meals shared with strangers who felt like friends, I remember thinking, “This is a place that doesn’t rush you—and that might be its greatest gift.”
What stood out most wasn’t just what I saw—it was how it made me feel. Each town carried its own rhythm, its own voice. I left with a deeper respect for the land, the stories, and the quiet strength woven through them all.
If you’re not sure where to begin, think about what kind of experience you want to carry home. Alabama has so many corners worth exploring—some loud with laughter, others quiet with meaning. Wherever you go, I hope you leave with the same sense I did: that you’ve just touched something lasting.
