The Mobile Bay, Dauphin Island and Bayou La Batre areas Are Ready for the Labor Day Holiday!:

Just in time for a big Labor Day weekend, the two governmental agencies of South Mobile County – The City of Bayou La Batre and the Town of Dauphin Island – announced the launch of www.AlabamaCoast.org, a new website designed to serve as a clearinghouse for up to date information on upcoming events, tourism related questions, and the latest on Wild Caught Gulf Seafood safety, amongst other things.

Mobile: Currently, everything is 'BUSINESS AS USUAL' in the Mobile area. The Mobile Bay area's many renowned attractions, hotels, restaurants, exhibits, events and retail businesses are operational, the Carnival ELATION is cruising as planned and our world-famous seafood is as delicious as ever! Visitors are encouraged to keep their travel plans to the our historic port city - come dine on delicious seafood, visit our local retailers and spend some time in beautiful Mobile Bay.

Dauphin Island: For daily updates on South Mobile County's favorite beach, Dauphin Island, visit their Facebook page, which features regular updates, daily video and other pertinent information - search for 'Friends of Dauphin Island' and choose 'like' to stay informed. Also, watch up-to-date video at http://www.youtube.com/user/DauphinIslandUpdates.

We will update this site with the most recent information we obtain from authorities - please check back often!

Fun is happening now in Mobile, Alabama!
Our historic city is open for business as usual and the oil spill currently has not affected our tourism/convention activities. Visitors and convention attendees are being welcomed to our area and are receiving the top-quality service and experience that has come to be expected from Mobile Bay. Like everyone along the Gulf Coast, the Mobile Bay CVB is actively watching the status of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We are closely monitoring all information sources related to the oil spill and at this point, the extent of any potential impact is unclear. IF coastal impact becomes an issue, we will provide you with any and all information regarding affects to our travel/tourism industry. Thank you for thinking Mobile Bay!
