Kids can have fun at the skate park, playground, or mini-golf course. Don’t miss the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, historic Fort Gaines, or the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Estuarium. Be sure to check out the charming local restaurants,shops, galleries and the excellent fish market. If you want to just relax, take it easy and CHILL OUT you will love it here!
