- Join us as we explore Alabama's very own island town, Dauphin Island! We’ll begin by making our way to the eastern end of the island, where we’ll get up close and personal with marine life at the Alabama Aquarium. Afterward, we’ll visit a pair of historic forts guarding the entrance to Mobile Bay, which was the site of a significant Civil War Battle, and learn about the origin of the US Navy’s infamous battle cry.
We’ll also enjoy delicious meals at two local restaurants, before taking a siesta in a beautiful city park. Moving on, we’ll see more of Dauphin Island’s Natural side, exploring a large bird sanctuary and taking a relaxing walk through Indian Shell Mound Park.
Finally, we’ll finish off our weekend with a walk on the beach, enjoying the view that makes Dauphin Island known as Alabama’s Sunset Capital. All this and more, on Discovering Dauphin Island!

Thanks for watching Sparks of Discovery!
The first time we went to Dauphin Island, I was just a kid, but I do remember that we stayed in a house that was on "stilts." Last summer, my family and I stayed a week in Fort Morgan. We took some time and toured the fort, and then we took the ferry over to Dauphin Island and toured Fort Gaines as well. It was very interesting to hear about the battle of Mobile Bay and visualize that right there in that channel, the battle took place so many years ago. I was amazed at how the inside of the forts were very cathedral-like with all of the arches, and the textures of bricks covered with natural calcification and green moss were simply stunning works of art. I took many pictures. Great job on the video, and thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
So glad you enjoyed it, it is fascinating seeing all the history and thinking about what it was like during the war. Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Georgia! Glad to see your content in my feed again.
Thank you!
Is the water clear there, like in Destin, FL?
Unfortunately, most of the water in Gulf isn’t clear. Dauphin Island is in a bay of the Gulf, so the water there especially isn’t clear.
@@SparksofDiscovery Thanks for responding.
