Fall is an ideal time of year for along Alabama’s Gulf Coast. The weather is mild and inviting for baseball tournaments, soccer championships, golf events, marathons and various other sporting events. But sports aren’t the only activities to be enjoyed in the area.
If you like nature, we have plenty—from nature trails and preserves, scenic parks, and, of course, beaches. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo exhibits the natural habitats of more than 400 animals, and attractions like the Five Rivers Delta Resource Center, Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and the Dauphin Island Bird Sanctuaries and Sea Lab offer educational opportunities about the local ecosystems.
History attractions are another popular pastime. Visit Fort Morgan for a glimpse of history ranging from the Civil War to World War II; tour USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park, which includes the World War II battleship, a submarine, combat aircraft, tanks, and a Vietnam river patrol boat; and gain a glimpse into the 1930s at Bellingrath Gardens and Home, a 10,500-square-foot home built in 1935.
There are plenty of other attractions to be enjoyed: ride some rides and play some mini-golf at an amusement park, or take a ride on the Ferris wheel at The Wharf—the tallest in the southeast.
