Fishing at base of Perdido Bridge after dark
myca99 Says: Don't worry, you won't be alone. There were probably 20 people out there fishing as we'd come back from dinner in the evenings. The area is well lit and people seem to be sociable there.

The Shrimp Basket: Ok to go here straight from the beach
myca99 Says: We liked this place, but it's really casual and it's pretty much one big open room. We went there on a recommendation for my Mom's birthday and it was too casual for a birthday. But it was really good food. Save it for a night when you don't want to worry about getting...
The Flora Bama Lounge: A BAMA Blast!!!!
always1ontime Says: I had a blast at the Flora-Bama Lounge (and Oyster Bar, can’t forget that part!)! I went to a beach party for one of my friends. They had like four stages for bands and I hear they always have live music going, like every day. The food wasn’t bad either. It’s worth checking...
MadStuff Says: When the rates are right, Pensacola is closer. However, parking is free in Mobile but still cheap in Pensacola. Both are smaller airports with friendly people and quick service. You can rent cars at either location with or without a GPS.

My encounter with Captain Crunch and the Alligator
always1ontime Says: Alligator Alley was really neat. My son loved this but it scared the crap out of me. I’m a bit squeamish around 13 foot long alligators named Captain Crunch! The park is actually safe and family friendly and even “scaredy cats” like me can have a great time! I found...
beachman_54 Says: Beautiful white beaches and clear blue water. Has a great family atmosphere and a good nightlife. Stay in condos on the beach for same or less than hotels. Best rental company is Brett-Robinson. They are on internet and have over 1000 condos to rent. Most are gulf front. The...
