This is because Dauphin Island, which is just 33 miles from Mobile, Alabama, is actually a barrier island that is bordered by white sand. Recognizing the tourism potential of the place, the locals have set up numerous Dauphin Island lodgings, which range from first-class hotels to camping sites. There are also Dauphin Island restaurants and shops that complement the tourist spots. These spots include the Fort Gaines, the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Estuarium, the Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and the Great Dauphin Camp Ground. The Battle of Mobile Bay took place in this island. Thus, one of the things to do in Dauphin Island is to touch the actual cannons that were employed during the Civil War. Another exciting thing to do is to have a close encounter with the endemic flora and fauna at the 10,000-square foot Estuarium. And still another important activity during Dauphin Island vacations is to walk the trails within the Audubon Bird Sanctuary. And if watching and exploring is too tame for the travelers, they can always spend the night at the Campground. It might just be the ultimate adventure vacation. There are 150 campsites available that are within easy distance to the fishing pier.
