  • We explore The Top FREE Things to do at Dauphine Island, Alabama (plus 6 almost Free things to do!). Dauphin Island is the southernmost city in Alabama.
    Dauphin Island is a Small Town, a coastal island off the coast of Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a great island to just get away and enjoy the beach. Dauphin Island is great for everyone. If you enjoy history, Fort Gaines is also located on Dauphin Island. It played a major role in the Battle of Mobile Bay, during the American Civil War. Dauphin Island is a relaxing getaway for all.
    RV Life - Volunteering on the Road + Crowley's Ridge State Park. We think part of RV Life is Volunteering on the Road. We make it to Paragould Arkansas to explore the nearby attractions such as Crowley's Ridge State Park.
    We are so happy to find a way to volunteer while enjoying our RV Life!

    It's my favorite place in the world. Fish, swim, beach comb, restaurants, a few cool bars, only 1 high rise condo. I'm from Mississippi and even our coast is crazy busy. When I need a real relaxing vacation, Dauphin Island is it.👍 Oh yeah, their campsite is great and the Two story Gulf Breeze Motel( only hotel or motel on the island) is SWEEEET.

    Great video thank you! I saw comments about the pier. The water didn't recede. Dauphin Island is a barrier island. The sand shifted to that bit due to storms, tide and other factors as you stated. Other areas lost sand. Its always shifting. We walked several miles down Pelican Peninsula on the southern tip once, then the next year it was gone. Now it's Pelican Island. Yes the walk from that pier to the beach is a bit of a bear.

    • @RVAmerica

    Best thing about Dauphin Island is it isnt over commercialized like Gulf Shores is. I remember back in the 80s when there were no huge condos on Gulf Shores. Now you can barely see the beach from the main road.

    • @RVAmerica
      @RVAmerica  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I remember back in the eighties when you could walk the beach and destin and there were no condos anywhere. I was so disappointed the last time I went there. Dolphin allen is the last place left where you can actually have beach walks without paying for parking. It's very sad. Do you go here often?

    • @OutdoorsWithShawn
      @OutdoorsWithShawn Před 10 měsíci

      @RVAmerica maybe once or twice a year. Not as much over the last few years. We would go there probably once a month or so as kids. We live about 45mins away. I might head that way this weekend and check out the forts and ferry. But the heat may deter that
