Located three miles south of Mobile Bay, Dauphin Island has clear blue water and powdery white sand galore. It's connected to mainland Alabama by a bridge, and ferry rides take you to and from the island.

Dauphin Island is famous for its relative isolation and quiet beaches. Compared to many top gulf side beach destinations, Dauphin Island is an untapped paradise. It gets substantially less foot traffic (and fewer crowds) compared to other islands along the gulf.
