Dauphin Island Ride: Ferries, Forts & Sunset Bites

This ride’s got rhythm—from cheese danish to gators, cannon fire to coastal crossings. We rolled into Dauphin Island and made our first stop at Light House Bakery around midday—fresh cheese danish, coastal charm, and a quick reset before the ride continued. Next up: the Alabama Aquarium, where extensive aquatic exhibits showcase the rich biodiversity of the Gulf Coast. From native fish to sea turtles—and even a gator up close—it’s a deep dive into the waters and wetlands that shape the region. Then it was on to Fort Gaines, where history stands in silence. Brick walls, artillery placements, and sweeping views across Mobile Bay tell the story without a single word. We grabbed a bite at Pirates Bar & Grill, with waterfront views and a laid-back local vibe. And finally, we lined up for the Dauphin Island Ferry—bikes loaded, sea breeze rising, and a smooth crossing to wrap the day.
