Baldwin County beaches

Start here

• Gulf Shores Public Beach

  Gulf Place’s city-listed Gulf beach, with separate East and West approaches. Choose parking carefully: the East lot is reserved for residents, and beach mats stop before the water.

• Gulf State Park Beach Pavilion

  Gulf State Park’s named beach pavilion access, with beach-day facilities and a paid parking arrival. Check the exact accessible route and remaining sand before an access-dependent visit.

• Fairhope North Beach

  Fairhope’s North Beach on Mobile Bay, distinct from South Beach and the municipal pier. Bay water, park facilities and seasonal access rules require their own checks.

Choose your shoreline

Gulf surf forecasts apply to the open Gulf; Mobile Bay, Wolf Bay and island arrivals retain their own access and water conditions.
