Public Beach Access in Gulf Shores, Alabama
Having Fun on Lagoon Pass Public Beach
Around dusk each day, this is a great time to watch the cranes in the wading pools that form at the end of the retainer wall on each side. The cranes along with the seagulls can be found by the dozen feeding here.
The cranes aren’t typically shy to people and you can get some great up close photos of them, but please don’t approach them. Here you will sometimes find local fishermen competing with the birds for dinner. They wade in the surf with their fishing poles and still manage to stay upright despite the various breaks in the shoreline waves here.
Amenities
There are the separate male and female restrooms located at the end of the lot where the pay box is, and behind the building is the outdoor shower with 2 overhead showers and 1 for your feet. There is one small covered area at the edge of the parking lot with information about our coastal birds.
Behind the restrooms is a larger retainer wall that connects Little Lagoon to the Gulf and runs under the bridge on 182 that is stamped with dolphins.
How to Find It
This is an easy location to get to. Just drive south on Highway 161 and turned left on Perdido Beach Blvd, Highway 182. The beach access is about a block down on the right.
