The aluminum hull hums as you ease away from Canal Road and into the braided back bays of Orange Beach. Salt-scented air pushes across the bimini top, waves nudge the bow, and mangrove-lined fingers of water dare you to follow them toward hidden sandbars and dolphin pods.

History
This coastline developed around small-boat fisheries and barrier islands shaped by longshore currents; docks and routes reflect a generational knowledge of tides and shallow-water navigation.
Conservation
Stay in marked channels, avoid driving over seagrass beds, and pack out all trash; shallow bays are sensitive habitats where anchors and propellers can damage intertidal zones.
