DAUPHIN ISLAND, Alabama--Melissa Smith, the Fairhope-based artist who created a gorgeous illustrated map of Mobile Bay, has made a special map for the 55th Dauphin Island Race on Saturday, April 27.
A few years ago, I found paradise on Alabama's Dauphin Island. Surrounded by water, but easily connected to the world, this destination flows with opportunities for relaxation.
As beach towns go, Dauphin Island, Alabama, is relatively sleepy. Unlike nearby Gulf Shores or Panama City Beach, Florida, it has no water parks or mini-golf courses, and only two high-rise hotels.
Dauphin Island was also named the ‘Sunset Capital of Alabama,’ in 2013 by the Alabama Tourism Department. You can find this honor on billboards as you make your way into the island.
Explore the laid-back charm of Dauphin Island, Alabama—from quiet beaches and local eats to birdwatching, kayaking and scenic ferry rides across Mobile Bay.
