Review:
Dauphin Island is a small barrier island on the Alabama coast on the Gulf of Mexico and is known as a perfect family holiday destination. If you are looking for the number 1 beach in Alabama, quiet and peaceful, the island’s entire west end consists of miles of powder-fine white sand.
The long and narrow beaches are perfect for strolling along the surf, making sand castles, or simply cooling down in the water. Along the beaches visitors will find lovely parks shaded with ancient oaks in addition to public golf courses.
It is the only pet-friendly beach in the area. The off-shore fishing is also great. There is another public beach on the west end of the town of Dauphin Island, known for regular summer live music concerts.
Address: Dauphin Island Beach, 1501 Bienville Blvd, Dauphin Island, AL 36528
