At long last, spring has arrived on Dauphin Island.
The snowbirds have flown the coop, migrated north leaving Dauphin Island to springtime vacationers.
Another kind of bird migration has begun. Neotropical birds, hummingbirds and all manner of fine featherds have begun to arrive on Dauphin Island. Birders from all over the map are converging on Dauphin Island to witness the migration.
Spring break has come and gone. Right now is a special time of year on Dauphin Island. We're between spring break and the end of the school year. It's a time when the island is especially quiet and tranquil.
It's a time when you'll wake up to cool morning breezes and the calming, restful sound of the surf lapping at the beach. You might see a few fishermen on the pier or trying their hand at surf fishing. You might see a few people out collecting shells washed up overnight.
Morning coffee tastes so much better on the beach.
This time of year the morning sun gently warms the cool sand. An invigorating stroll along the surf is just the thing to start your day. Blue skies, sand as white and fine as sugar and a warm island breeze... It doesn't get any better that spring on Dauphin Island.
Come and get away to Dauphin Island this Spring.
