2024 Map of Pine Beach

About this map

Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge anchors this coastal environment on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, protecting the delicate interface between Bon Secour Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by its brackish water systems, including Little Lagoon and the enclosed Gator Lake, which are separated from the open sea by narrow strips of land. Small settlements such as Cedar Grove, Palmetto Beach, and Edith Hammock cluster along the northern shore and primary thoroughfares like Fort Morgan Rd. In the eastern section, the outskirts of Gulf Shores appear along W Beach Blvd, showing the modern expansion of this vacation destination. This recent survey captures the complex topography of the Alabama coastline, where named features like Childress Point and Sheephead Point mark the shifting boundaries of the peninsula's southern edge.
