Alabama Eastern Shore Trail, Alabama, United States

4.5 (15 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #9 in Fairhope Scenic Walking Areas

Paved Coastal Walkway

I went on a couple jogs between the Pier and the Grand Hotel while in town. This is a wide paved walkway that extends for many miles, great for walkers (and their dogs), bikes, and running. It's right along the road, so there will be some cars whizzing by, for those who are a bit nervous of such things. But I loved it!

    Pretty
    This is a paved walking /biking trail that runs along the Mobile Bay from the Pier to Point Clear at the Grand Hotel and beyond. From the trail you have beautiful vista of the bay, the canopy of old oak tree with hanging moss and the nice homes along the bay. There are a couple of stops along the way for a good meal, a light snack or just something to drink. In some places you can walk down to the water’s edge if you like and cool your feet in the bay. If you walk as far as the American Legion those people are always very nice and love to see a new face. There are also beverages there of all sorts and sometimes they have food. If they don’t have anything to eat you can walk across the street to Gambino’s and they always have delicious Italian dishes there. If you keep going you will eventually get to the Grand Hotel. It is a complete resort on the bay. If you decide to stay there, there is plenty to do. If you take the bay trail from there you will be behind the beautiful houses that face the bay and you will have to decide to admire the homes or the views of the bay.

    Refreshing
    This is a great place to walk, day or night. The views and fresh air are food for the soul. In our world today, we rarely take time to really relax and enjoy our surroundings without some device in our hand or artificial sound in our ears. The trail is a great place to unplug from technology, walk with someone, have a meaningful conversation, and reflect. It is also a great place to exercise with an amazing view and wonderful surroundings. Enjoy the trail when you are in Fairhope. Your mind will enjoy the return trips stored in your memory bank.
