Alabama Gulf Coast nature

If you’re a nature-lover, you’re in for a treat. The Alabama Birding Trail is a world-renowned birding destination. Many species stop here in the fall and spring during their annual migration to and from the Southern hemisphere. The Gulf Shores area boasts a self-guided Coastal Birding Trail and nature walk, semi-annual bird-banding experiences and a birding festival. Meyer can make sure you enjoy the rich abundance of nature to be found. Take a cruise on the island’s backwaters and refresh your soul with a wildlife menagerie framed by sensational sunsets. Guided kayak tours at the beginning, middle or end of the day allow you to admire close-up the creatures and plant life of our beautiful back waters or near the gulf shoreline.
