Historic Civil War battle site. You can also catch the ferry to Dauphin Island from here which I highly recommend. Pro tip: reserve your spot on the ferry early and go check out Fort Morgan while you wait.

The infamous Flora-Bama is probably the most well-known bar on the Gulf Coast. A massive party compound with live music that sits on both sides of the Florida/Alabama state line. It's slightly more tame during the day but can get rowdy at night. I definitely recommend taking an Uber or party bus.
