Why is the sand in Gulf Shores so white and soft?

You can thank thousands of years of filtering for our beautiful white sand beaches, as each granule is created from quartz that originated in the Appalachian Mountains. The difference is clear and can even be felt when walking barefoot along the shores, and any pictures taken on our beaches will have a drama that is lacking in golden sand beaches.

Are there any good diving spots in the waters off Gulf Shores?

Crystal-clear waters offer superb visibility, and because Alabama has the largest artificial reef system in the entire nation, there are plenty of spots that are ideal for scuba diving, including Whiskey Wreck, located just about 150 yards south of one of our favorite restaurants, Bahama Bob’s. Created from the wreck of an old Spanish rum runner and lying just 20 feet under the surface of the Gulf, the shallowness of the wreck makes it an ideal snorkeling spot as well.

Were there any pirates in Gulf Shores?

Our coastline is relatively small for pirate ships, but Dauphin Island is known to have come under attack by privateers in the early 18th century. Privateers are pirates who were hired by people to partake in traditional pirate shenanigans, and these privateers were commissioned by the governor of Jamaica, a man who was seeking the fortunes hidden in poorly protected storehouses containing valuable animal pelts, flour, and naval stores.

Does Poole & Associates offer any beachfront rentals with patios over the Gulf?

Although there may be a few of our beachfront escapes offering more distant views of the Gulf, the majority of our properties will give guests the beach experience they dreamed about, including patios that look out over the blue waters of the Gulf. Furnished with chairs and tables, the balconies and patios will be where you spend much of your waking hours at “home” offering the salt air therapy you wished for and a never ending musical cacophony of waves crashing on the sands below.
