Mobile

Mobile County, Florida

Alabama's historic port city and Mardi Gras birthplace. Mobile sits ~45 minutes west of Gulf Shores and anchors the other side of Mobile Bay from the Eastern Shore — close enough that concert, dinner, and festival trips from the beach are routine. Downtown, the Saenger Theatre, Dauphin Street nightlife, and the Mobile Carnival Museum draw regular Baldwin County visitors.
