Along the beach byway, it might be hard at first to tell there’s more to experience than just the white-sand beaches and clear blue gulf waters. Not much beats the beach! But if you know where to look, adventure lies around every nook, cranny, corner and river bend. One of the best ways to explore all the byway has to offer? Canoeing and kayaking, of course! Play explorer for the day on Alabama’s Coastal Connection at the following stops along the byway.
