Mobile's history is alive and well at the Oakleigh Historic Complex. Travel back in time as you tour the majestic antebellum mansion that dates back to 1833. You will be truly impressed with the breathtaking Greek Revival-style architecture that features large white pillars and an unmistakeable 19th century timeless quality. When you tour the mansion, you'll be immediately struck by your tour guides as they are dressed in the finery of the day that add an air of authenticity to your visit. The rooms are adorned to look much as they did before the Civil War, and they feature American and European antiques as well as items that actually belonged to the people who once dwelled in this incredible structure.

Mobile Ballet is the Gulf Coast's premiere ballet company and school. This group of highly talented performers works hard all year long to bring you an impressive schedule of events. Among some of the ballet's most recent performances include Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Carnival of the Dance. Also, the Mobile Ballet School offers classes for aspiring dancers who range in age from 3-years-old to adults. When you are in the audience for one of the ballet's many performances, you will be immediately struck by not only the brilliant dancing but also the detailed sets and meticulous costumes.

Breathing in the salt air and feeling your toes in the sand as the sun warms your face are just part of the sensory experiences you'll enjoy when you visit Gulf Shores. This is one of South Alabama's more popular attractions. The public beach features such amenities as a boardwalk, open-air pavilions and picnic areas. Gulf Shores Beach stretches out to include several access points along Highway 182 to include 13th, 6th, 5th, 4th, and 2nd Streets. An additional point of interest is Lagoon Park which is located at Lee Callaway Bridge that offers calm, shallow waters as well as restroom facilities and plenty of parking.
