About Dauphin Island
Known as the "Sunset Capital of Alabama," Dauphin Island encompasses the Dauphin Island Public Beach, West End Beach, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and Fort Gaines. It is highly favored for its pet-friendly shorelines, expansive beachcombing, finding washed-up sea shells, and swimming in calm Gulf waters. Understanding the tidal patterns unlocks the island's best features; a dead low tide at West End Beach dramatically exposes vast sandbars and tidal pools, providing miles of perfect terrain for collecting intact sea shells and walking dogs along the water's edge.
