There’s nothing quite like Dauphin Island’s beaches. With wide stretches of soft sand and far fewer crowds than most Gulf Coast destinations, you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled upon your own private paradise. Spend the morning collecting seashells, let the kids splash in the gentle surf, or curl up with a good book under the sun. Here, “beach day” means no rush and no worries—just pure relaxation. There are 4 public beach access points.
