If white sand beaches are not quite your walk in the park, Fairhope might be the destination you’ve been searching for. There are very few places along the Gulf Coast that offer the kind of Southern scenery that Fairhope provides, with antebellum homes, streets lined with majestic live oaks, and a charming, walkable downtown district. The city of Fairhope sits upon bluffs that overlook Mobile Bay, giving its residents and visitors fantastic views of the water. Decorated with glorious fountains, boardwalks, and miles of surrounding trails, the Fairhope Municipal Pier & Park serves as the city’s epicenter, perfect for enjoying a day with the family. With sweeping vistas of Mobile Bay, Fairhope Avenue is a great place to visit the numerous parks, cafes and delicious seafood restaurants, along with several unique bookstores and arts & crafts shops. A short drive from downtown is one of Alabama’s natural wonders, the Mobile Tensaw Delta. Spanning a massive 260,000 acres, this sprawling delta is home to one of the most beautiful and diverse ecosystems in the country.
