Guide
Good to know
Bring your dog
This is one of the few dog-friendly beaches in the state, and multiple reviewers praised how much.
Expect fewer crowds than nearby beaches
Reviews consistently describe the beach as quiet, peaceful, and less crowded than Gulf Shores and other nearby options.
Plan 1-2 hours for the fort
The historic fort with tunnels and museum takes about an hour to explore and offers a good complement.
Pack sunscreen and a hat
The beach offers little shade, and one reviewer specifically recommended sun protection for the sunny days here.
Bring a flashlight for the fort
The fort's tunnels are dark, so a phone flashlight or headlamp helps with navigation and photography.
