Island charm with vibrant local culture
Dauphin Island, known as the "Sunset Capital of Alabama," offers a peaceful and picturesque setting. The island is renowned for its stunning sunsets and equally impressive sunrises, attracting visitors year-round. The community exudes a laid-back vibe, with locals and vacationers alike enjoying leisurely walks on the beach and community events such as the sunrise service on Easter morning.
The island features three public beaches: West End Public Beach, the central Public Beach, and East End Public Beach, where leashed dogs are welcome. East End Beach is adjacent to Fort Gaines, a historic Civil War-era fort. The Dauphin Island Bike Trail runs from the fort to the central Public Beach, offering a scenic route for cyclists. Nature enthusiasts can explore the 164-acre Dauphin Island Audubon Bird Sanctuary, home to walking trails that wind through pines, live oaks, and coastal swamplands. The Dauphin Island Sea Lab, an aquarium highlighting regional coastal habitats, is another popular attraction.
Local dining options include Capt’n Snappers, known for its fried seafood platters, and Pirate’s Bar & Grill, offering burgers, po’boys, and seafood with views of the Gulf. Lighthouse Bakery provides fresh pastries, bread, and sandwiches, while The Carriage Wine & Market offers specialty groceries. For more extensive shopping, Greer’s CashSaver stores are located in nearby Theodore and Bayou La Batre.
Dauphin Island also hosts several annual events, such as the first two Mardi Gras parades of the season and the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo, which draws thousands of participants and spectators. These events contribute to the island's vibrant community spirit and offer residents and visitors alike a chance to engage in local traditions.
Accessible island living with convenient connections

A daily ferry service operates between Dauphin Island and Fort Morgan, providing an alternative route across Mobile Bay.
