All about Fort Morgan

Take one look at the glittering Gulf waters and fine white-sand beaches and it’s easy to understand why this stretch of beautiful Alabama coastline has been attracting vacationers for more than a century. But when you see the spring break crowds and towering high-rises that mar the skyline of nearby developments, you can understand why some people are turned off by the area, too. Enter Fort Morgan, a sleepy coastal enclave perched on the very tip of the Fort Morgan Peninsula, due west of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Here, the residents have traded skyscrapers for low-slung pastel beach cottages, and there’s little to do but fish, golf, swim, eat oysters, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

What are the top things to do in Fort Morgan?

Fort Morgan State Historic Site

For more than 200 years, a defensive fortification has guarded the entrance to Mobile Bay. Originally established to fend off attacks by British soldiers during the War of 1812, Fort Morgan was also the site of an important battle during the Civil War. Today, you can tour the military installations, learn about the fort’s history at the on-site museum, or just explore the complex’s beaches, nature trails, and fishing spots. Watch out for nesting sea turtles.

Fort Morgan Road Trail

This former rail line turned paved nature path starts near the western edge of Gulf State Park, extends for more than 10 miles through quiet coastal neighborhoods, and ends at the Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club — perfect for a Sunday bike ride or leisurely stroll. Look out for eagles and ospreys as you explore this trail by the water.
