To get a better idea of how it feels to reel in the big one, let the professionals from Captain Mike Thierry's Deep Sea Fishing guide you through a memorable excursion. They provide the poles, tackle, and gear you'll need – and they bring along plenty of refreshments to make your angling experience the best catch of the day!

Visitors and nature lovers alike will marvel at the natural attractions that can be found in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge in nearby Gulf Shores. This sprawling 6,000-plus-acre wildlife refuge preserves the coastline's native flora and fauna as well as coyotes, foxes, American alligators and countless species of migratory birds. And in addition to those visually stunning inhabitants, you will also encounter some creatures that are a little out of the ordinary. These include the Alabama beach mouse which is on the endangered species list. You can also get even closer to all this natural beauty by hitting one of the many trails that allow you to explore the park at your own pace.
