Beach info:
With Alabama's beaches open, it is critical that everyone follow CDC social-distancing guidelines, which will be enforced. All beachgoers must maintain a 6-foot distance from others (excluding those living in your home). Everyone is encouraged to wear masks while in businesses and restaurants, and the need for personal responsibility is paramount. Having our beaches open is a privilege and each of us has a responsibility to do our part. Following the guidelines will help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and help keep our beaches open.

RESPECT OUR WATERWAYS:

Also, be aware of the No Motor Zones to protect our fragile and important seagrasses. No Wake Zones include Cotton Bayou, Terry Cove, and portions of Old River, among other areas. No Motor Zones are around Walker Island and Bird Island, east of Robinson Island, and on the east end of Ono Island.
