Continue back through Levert Ave and you’ll see some of Mobile’s best historic estate homes in one neighborhood. Ashland Galleries off Old Shell Rd has local art and gifts that rival a museum.

White Sand Beach, Fort Gains, Dauphin Island Sea Lab & Estuarium, and Deep Sea Fishing Tours are the most popular things to do on this laidback island!
For families with small children, I suggest The Country Club for restaurant and beach access. There is a small fee to park and enter, but it’s less crowded and shallow water. We start at the beach, wash off in the pool, and end with lunch or dinner at the restaurant. Fried pickles are a unique favorite!
Call the marina for fishing guides!
