Why follow the Alabama Coastal Connection?

The Alabama Coastal Connection Scenic Byway connects some of the Gulf Coast’s finest treasures. Mouthwatering restaurants, historic sites and scenic nature trails make for an unforgettable adventure. But what’s the point of the ACC? Why journey through the Scenic Byway? We can think of many reasons, but here are a few to start:

Learn something new. So you might have heard of the Audubon Bird Sanctuary or the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, but have you been there? The ACC gives you the opportunity to plan a day exploring new places. Venture out, choose one spot or several, and soak up the natural beauty of the area.

Relax. Get some “me” time and set out on an ACC path that takes you to peaceful locations. Relax in a park you’ve driven past a thousand times but never stopped to enjoy. Take a stroll on the beach and let the waves and salty air clear your mind. It’s time to take time to be present.

Expand your palate. Forget about your go-to chain restaurant. See what local chefs are cooking up and let your taste buds run wild. Ditch the Google guesswork, because we have an itinerary for this as well! Check out the Connecting with Food itinerary and stop in at our wonderful local eateries.
