If your plans include heading outdoors for a great day of fishing on the water, you owe it to yourself to experience the natural beauty of Polecat Bay. This breathtaking body of water is located near Mobile and connects to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, there are many places to prepare, fuel and launch your boat out into the waters for your aquatic adventure.

If you describe your relationship with your significant other as “a classic” or “time-tested,” then you will surely appreciate those exact same qualities when you enjoy a romantic date at the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion. This impressive structure was built in 1855 and is one of the most elegant structures of its kind on the Gulf Coast. There are twenty rooms here, and among the finely decorated interior you will marvel at double parlors, a lavish dining room and grounds that are meticulously landscaped with Mobile's signature oak trees and azaleas.

It doesn't matter if you are driving by or strolling past, you will definitely be struck by the incredible beauty of the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. This incredible church and architectural attraction was built in the first half of the 19th century. The structure's architectural style is Greek Revival, and this basilica is noteworthy for several reasons, not the least of which are the glorious stained glass windows, hand-carved stations of the cross, as well as the smooth-polished marble designs. And don't miss a chance to snap several photos of the cathedral's front facade as it offers an excellent photo opportunity for every visitor.

Among the many cultural influences that have shaped Mobile's history, the African-American contribution is highly significant. That fact is rightfully celebrated at the National African-American Archives and Museum. This venue is designed to enrich visitors' understanding of the African-American experience through the use of many exhibits that feature such notable artifacts as the “Clotilde,” one of the last known slave ships, items that tell the story of home run king Hank Aaron as well as items that tell the stories of other famous figures.
