Fort Morgan Home for Rent

Fort Morgan offers a private, small-town feel on a peninsula in Alabama's Gulf Coast with access to parks, beaches and historic sites. "There are a few public beaches, but it's mostly private land in Fort Morgan. It's a little more relaxed than gated communities like Ono Island," says Realtor Kelsey Davis with Bellator Realty and Development. "You're secluded from the hustle and bustle, but there are a few small shops and restaurants. It's grown a good bit in the last five years." There are tourists, but Fort Morgan has more of a local vibe, with its full- and part-time residents gathering for oysters and beer at the nearest seafood shack or relaxing at the condo pool. It's precisely the kind of picturesque small beach town Alabama's Gulf Coast specializes in. Miles of soft, crystal sand beaches stretch across the Gulf side of the Fort Morgan peninsula and wrap around the tip at the Fort Morgan State Historic site. Homes that are not directly on the beach have access to the surf at several public access points. The Historic Site's most prominent ruin is Fort Gaines, which dates to 1821 and played an important role in the Battle of Mobile Bay during the Civil War. Visitors can also
