Little Lagoon in Gulf Shores – Ecotourist Hot Spot!
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009| Share |
(Gulf Shores, AL) The small waterway appears on Civil War-era maps of the
Gulf Coast. It depends on a small cut-through to the Gulf of Mexico, known as “Little Lagoon Pass” or locally as just “The Pass,” for a fresh influx of salt water. It has plenty of room for sail boats, windsurfing, power boats and jet skis. Fish, shrimp and crabs call it home. New condominiums on the south shore give Gulf Shores visitors a waterfront view to compliment the Gulf of Mexico view, while homes that have withstood decades of hurricanes line its shores on the north.
The Little Lagoon is loved by local residents and is zealously protected by the Little Lagoon Preservation Society, which aims to preserve both this body of water’s recreational and natural qualities. You’ll find the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail’s sign (ABCT 9) at Little Lagoon Pass. The view from the little park offers views of terns, gulls, the Brown Pelican and numerous shorebirds.
