Gulf Coast Overview

The smallest of Alabama’s four regions, the Gulf Coast is the only part of the state with a border on the Gulf of Mexico. The area’s history is inexorably tied to the Gulf itself, from the first Spanish explorers and French colonizers; to the naval battles of the War of 1812 and the Civil War; to the region’s status as a shipping, fishing and leisure destination today. Southwestern Alabama has a distinctly coastal identity unlike any other part of the state.
