Fairhope Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

The residents of Fairhope, Alabama are proud of the fact that their city has been chosen by Southern Living Readers Choice Awards as one of the Top Three Southern Towns. The reason, perhaps, is that the parks, waterfronts, and acres of oaks appear to come out of a fairy tale. At the same time, Fairhope also won third place in the Nations in Bloom competition, which gives recognition to communities that advocate for environmental conservation. These awards indicate one thing: that Fairhope vacations are pleasure trips into a town that values the environment as well as its vivid historical past. This makes a Fairhope vacation a meaningful family vacation.

The picturesque town, which evokes the Old World village charm, offers a wide variety of gift shops, antique shops, cafes, boutiques, and art galleries. If the travelers are environmental enthusiasts, the place that should not be missed is the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. If the travelers are avid history followers, then the highlight of the Fairhope vacation is the Fairhope Museum of History, where they can find artifacts of the Civil War, the Clay City, and the Single Tax Association. If the travelers love golf, they should find the Quail Creek, a municipal golf course, challenging. And lastly, if the vacation is a romantic getaway, then the couple should enjoy dreamy strolls along the shores, the bluff-top sidewalks, and the public pier.
