Alabama Beaches and Lakes

There are few places in the American south that can match Alabama for fun on and in the water. Pictures of Alabama beaches don’t do them justice; Alabama beaches are some of the best on the east coast, from the sparkling quartz sands of Orange Beach, with its 225-foot long boardwalk, to the fishing spots on Dauphin Island Pier, where the waters team with sheephead, mackerel and flounder. Anglers know that Alabama lakes are nothing to sneeze at either, especially those who’ve reeled in a 30-pound striped bass from Lake Lewis Smith, and Alabama maps of the Shoals are chock-full of lakes, creeks and rivers enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year.
