Beachwalk is located near the eastern end of the Fort Morgan Peninsula which is well known for its history, natural trails and marine treasures. The site of Fort Morgan is 3 miles east of Beachwalk. This 175 year old fort played the central role in the Battle of Mobile Bay and was in active duty during the Spanish American War and World Wars I and II .
Next to the Fort is Mobile Bay Ferry Landing, boat ramp and pier. Launch your boat (for 1 dollar) to fish inshore or offshore or just fish off the pier. Leave your car at the ferry landing and ride the ferry (walk-ons are $5.00 round trip and children under 12 free) over to Dauphin Island where Fort Gaines and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab Estuarium are within short walking distance.
The Fort Morgan Peninsula also hosts the National Bon Secor Wildlife refuge which boasts 7000 acres of protected woodlands, wetlands and over 1 mile ocean beach. Walk trails to the beach or Mobile Bay and see Alabama’s coastal wildlife and beautiful wetland scenes. There are ten bird watching sites on the Peninsula which are all part of Alabama’s Coastal Birding trail and among the favorites of our growing bird watching population.
Fishing in the surf is a great pastime where pompano and whiting can be regularly caught as well as bluefish, flounder, red fish and even the occasional mackerel.
