Eastern Shore, AL

Welcome

We invite you to share our outstanding quality of life on the Eastern Shore. Join us for a visit or make yourself at home as a new neighbor. We want to introduce you to the extraordinary beauty and diverse attractions our communities offer. The Eastern Shore attracted the first Spanish explorers who sailed into Mobile Bay. Today we invite you to explore the shore, a 15-mile stretch of land incorporating the cities of Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope as well as its communities — Barnwell, Belforest, Blakeley, Malbis, Montrose, Point Clear and Weeks Bay.

Discover the attractions on the Eastern Shore all year round. Shopping experiences vary, from the booming Eastern Shore Centre in Spanish Fort to boutiques in Fairhope and Daphne. Be sure to sample a taste of the shore with our diverse selection of restaurants on the water, as well as in our towns and rural locations. Mark your calendars for our music and arts festivals, our concert series, and community theatre events. The Eastern Shore boasts year-round golfing, boating, fishing, hiking and biking. The Baldwin County Trailblazers (http://thetrailblazers.org) biking, walking and jogging trail links 33 miles of scenic highway and historic communities from Spanish Fort to Point Clear. Picnic in the parks on the bluffs overlooking Mobile Bay and sit in the shade of our majestic oaks. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets overlooking the bay, where the sparkling waters invite a variety of water sports.

We’re growing fast on the Eastern Shore, but we are committed to preserving the quality of life and ensuring that our rich heritage isn’t compromised. The Eastern Shore offers the best in education through its public and private schools. You’ll find attractive neighborhoods and communities with convenient shopping, dining and a full array of services. And, if you are a history buff, Fairhope has 157 homes on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Eastern Shore offers a business-friendly environment, a first-class workforce and a short commute to work. You’ll find support from the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce — our strong membership organization is comprised of a diverse business community. Major airports in Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida, are convenient, and the Fairhope Municipal Airport welcomes private planes and corporate jets.

We at the Eastern Shore Chamber welcome this opportunity to introduce you to our wonderful community. Come visit, and find out why this is a great place for families. See you soon!
