Review:
Located a short drive east of Perdido Pass Bridge, in Gulf State Park, Alabama Point East is a great place to spend some time enjoying nature and watching birds. It has over 6,000 feet of wide, sandy beach, boardwalks, sand dunes, picnic areas, restrooms, and showers. The sea oats habitat offers great opportunities for bird observation and fishing.
What is the best spot for photos in Orange Beach? The views of Perdido Pass and the Gulf of Mexico are breathtaking.
Local travel tip: Alabama Point provides a critical habitat for a number of animals, such as the Perdido Key beach mouse. It is a nesting site for the snowy plover and a variety of shorebirds, and common loons feed in the pass during the winter.
Must know: Overnight camping is not permitted in the park.
