See the full sized alligators at Alligator Alley in Summerdale, just north of Gulf Shores. To the east in Elberta you can visit the closest thing we have to a botanic garden at Biophilia Nature Center, Native Nursery, and Bookstore, which has 20 acres of carnivorous plants and other native plants and wildlife. To the north, in Spanish Fort there is the Five Rivers - Alabama's Delta Resource Center. This new facility will introduce you to the Alabama Delta and has hiking trails, canoe trips, and various exhibits. Also near there is Meaher State Park, a 1,000 plus-acre park on scenic Mobile Bay. Also in the neighboohood is Historic Blakeley State Park in Spanish Fort. The state park has about 11 miles of hiking and bike trails and a boardwalk adjacent to the Tensaw River. Also, this is the site of the Civil War's last major battle.

For those who are history minded: The Baldwin County Heritage Museum in Elberta has showcases what life was like in the 1800's. The museum, features a working windmill and some outdoor agricultural exhibits. Up that way is also Fort Mims Historic Site in Stockton, where Creek Indians killed over 500 pioneer settlers. There has been recent interest in this important site of early settlers.
