Best Things To Do On Dauphin Island, Alabama | Travel Guide 2025

A hurricane once ripped Dauphin Island in half. Locals shrugged, rebuilt, and went fishing. That tells you everything you need to know about Alabama’s barrier island that forgot to stress out. No mega-resorts. No spring-break chaos. Just sugar sand, bird sanctuaries, haunted forts, and shrimp so fresh it’ll ruin chain seafood forever.

From the secret side of West End Beach and the Civil War tunnels of Fort Gaines, to Pelican Island’s feathered drama and royal red shrimp at Skinner’s, this is the chillest Gulf Coast secret you probably drove right past.

What’s Inside:
🏖 Hidden beaches with zero crowds
👻 Fort Gaines history + ghost stories
🦜 Birdwatching at Audubon Sanctuary & Pelican Island
🍤 Royal red shrimp + fresh Gulf catches
⛴ The Mobile Bay Ferry to Fort Morgan
🌅 Sunsets that hit different on the Gulf Coast

Dauphin Island isn’t polished. It isn’t loud. And that’s the point. This is where you come to slow down, breathe deep, and maybe watch a pelican bully a seagull midair. Alabama’s best-kept coastal secret… for now.
