Fairhope
Fairhope has evolved rapidly into one of the main
centers of the Eastern Shore's commercial and
cultural activity. Bright flowers, brick walkways,
downtown galleries and shops all add to the small
town charm of this beautiful city. The public pier
with its rose garden, beach area, and duck pond is
the hub for most of the year, which is all short
walk from downtown. Activities from sailing to
sunbathing can almost always be viewed from anywhere
along the bluffs and waterfront in Fairhope. There
is a wide variety of public and private schools as
well as two colleges located in Fairhope. From small
garden homes to huge estate homes, it is all
available in Fairhope.Fairhope Articles

Point Clear
Point Clear, the Eastern Shore's westernmost point
of land, is located between Mobile Bay waters on two
sides. Unincorporated Point Clear is now home to
Marriot’s Grand Hotel, which originated 158 years
ago. “The Grand” boasts a full service spa, marina,
and two 18 hole championship golf courses which are
part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. The
overwhelming beauty of this area is enhanced by the
views of Mobile Bay. The older homes are centered
along the Boardwalk which runs from the Grand on
south to Zundel’s Pier. There are also many
beautiful homes along the rolling pastures of the
old polo fields that are on larger estate size lots. |

Montrose
Montrose is located between Fairhope and Daphne.
This historical area has many breathtaking
waterfront homes as well as small residential areas
that are just as spectacular in their simplicity.
The oak trees that hang over Scenic Hwy 98 and the
colorful azaleas running along the coastline both
give a beautiful view of the southern charm this
little community has to offer. |

Daphne
Daphne, located on the upper end of the Eastern
Shore, is between Spanish Fort & Fairhope which
makes it such an appealing place to live. The
climate on the Eastern Shore allows for most outdoor
sports and activities year round. Daphne is a
community rich with heritage, spirit, and small town
ambiance. There are wonderful schools both public
and private, great shopping areas, and lovely parks.
Lake Forest and Timbercreek are two very large
residential neighborhoods, which are built around
golf courses and include tennis courts and community
pools. These two neighborhoods provide homes to over
half of Daphne‘s population. Tremendous growth has
occurred to this city. It is convenient to Mobile
and has housing in all price ranges. |

Spanish Fort
Spanish Fort rests on a hill overlooking Mobile Bay,
just a short distance to Mobile, Daphne & Fairhope.
Spanish Fort incorporated in 1993 and has been
expanding rapidly with brand new public schools and
retirement areas. There is a large outdoor shopping
mall, the Eastern Shore Centre, and Bass Pro Shops,
both located immediately off I10 just east of Mobile
Bay. Spanish Fort is largely made up of residential
areas which spread along the coastal bluff and trail
northward around Mobile Bay’s waterways. This allows
for great views of Mobile Bay sunsets as well as
panoramic views of the native woods loaded with
Civil War history. |
