While this is an early March activity, Dauphin Island offers much more for the remainder of the year:

# 150 campsites

# Walking distance to Fort Gaines
# Wooden path from rear of campground to private beach on the Gulf
# Campground bordered by 160-acre Audubon Bird Sanctuary with nature walks and scenic lake

There is also historical Fort Gaines and a beautiful pier from which you can enjoy great fishing! Don’t forget, however, that admission is charged.
