Fort Morgan, on the Alabama Gulf Coast, is the ideal vacation destination for anyone looking to commune with nature, soak in history, and relax on some of the beautiful beaches that surround this area. While most individuals think of Gulf Shores when they imagine vacationing on the coast, Fort Morgan is a viable alternative for those who want a more peaceful and serene atmosphere during their stay. Whether the white sand has drawn you in or the simple beauty was simply too much to resist, you certainly will not be disappointed with any part of your Fort Morgan vacation.
The actual fort from which Fort Morgan draws its name is rich in history and certainly worth a visit. Visitors can explore the grounds and learn how the Spanish used the fort in the 1500s and rebuilt it in the 1800s to protect themselves from the Native Americans in the area. The fort also played a part in the American Civil War when, in 1864, Union and Confederate armies fought for control of this strategic port entrance and the Union army eventually won control after besieging Fort Morgan. The living history program is conducted daily, however, the candlelight fort tours on Tuesday nights are a worthwhile adventure for children and adults alike.
Most individuals stay in Fort Morgan for the privacy and seclusion that comes with staying in an off the beaten path destination. While there are not as many individuals, this does not mean that the adventure and beauty is any less noteworthy. The beaches here are as stunning as those that populate Gulf Shores and have the same sparkling white sand and emerald-green water that will take your breath away.
Make your way to the beach and wade into the warm waters of the Gulf, forgetting the world you left behind and the stresses that come with it. Your kids can build sandcastles as you work on your tan to the sounds of the waves, rather than the usual unpleasantries that come with crowded beaches. When you are ready to get back to nature and explore the natural beauty that abounds off of Alabama’s Gulf Coast, make your way to the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Beach.
The four-mile Pine Beach trail is worth a wander with its towering live oaks, gorgeous palmettos, and vibrant Spanish moss. There are also a variety of birds and other wildlife to catch sight of as you meander through the forest, journey past Little Lagoon, traverse a scenic ridge of dunes, and finally end at a pristine beach that is ripe for rest and relaxation. Although the adventure may be slightly demanding, the path and the end result make the exertion well worth the effort.
If fishing is on your itinerary, then trolling the waters of Gator Lake is a great way to not only reel in a big one but to also appreciate the beauty of the outdoors in Fort Morgan. Bass, bluegill and bream are common in this lake, while the nearby Little Lagoon is teaming with trout and flounder. Whether the history of the Battle of Mobile Bay intrigues you or the peacefulness of this secluded community appeals to your soul, Fort Morgan is the perfect place to kick back and escape the crowds that overrun similarly beautiful destinations.
