Driving west from Gulf Shores along Fort Morgan Road brings you by scenic Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, a haven for nature lovers. You can find a secluded stretch of coast via a long boardwalk for easy wheelchair access. At the end of this peninsula, Fort Morgan stands guard to the mouth of Mobile Bay along with its sister, Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island, a ferry-ride away. Explore both forts and relive the Battle of Mobile Bay, where Confederate and Union forces fought for control of the Port City. While on Dauphin Island, be sure to visit the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
