Dauphin Island Named To List Of Best Hidden Beaches

DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. — Dauphin Island has been named one of the “13 Best Hidden Beaches Across the U.S.” by Fodor’s Travel. The article looks at beaches around the U.S. “for those who seek a less crowded, more secluded beach experience.” The article mentions that Dauphin Island is known as the “Sunset Capital of Alabama,” adding, “As there are only 1,300-something permanent residents on this island, there are significantly fewer crowds any time of year compared to many of the other beaches along the Gulf Coast. Outside of its sugar white-sandy (dog-friendly) public beaches, during the day, visitors can enjoy the picturesque blue water and white sand beach views—and as the sun goes down, they’ll be treated to spectacularly colorful sights when the sun dips below the horizon.”
