Welcome to one of America's best kept secret vacation spots. The "Sunset Capital of Alabama" - Dauphin Island
Many of us view the water tower nearby as a welcome indicator that you have arrived on the island. This small gazebo is a nice shady spot if you are strolling along this beautiful walking path. The cache is hidden well from Muggles, but may require a bit of stealth. It is large enough for swaps and trackables. Please return it to it's original spot to preserve this hide.
Dauphin Island is truly a place like no other. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, you’ll feel the difference as soon as you step foot on the Island and take in a breath of fresh Gulf air. A historically significant location, Dauphin Island’s Historic Fort Gaines, was active in the Civil War. The fort, now retired, stands guard overlooking Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
Nowadays, Dauphin Island thrives upon its’ emphasis on low-key, family oriented vacations. Forget road congestion, water parks and outlet malls – the island doesn’t even have need for a traffic light. Instead, envision bike paths, walking trails, miles of white sandy beaches and simplicity centered upon outdoor recreation and the environment. Dauphin Island is a true hidden gem of Alabama’s Gulf Coast, so come and “surround yourself!”
