Mobile Bay offers a genuine southern experience in an historic, yet vibrant coastal setting. A top-rated, river-front convention center anchors a lively downtown offering world-class accommodations, lush parks and squares, retail shops, restaurants, museums and art galleries. This 300 year old port city is the oldest and the largest along the Gulf Coast and its colorful character, stunning architecture, lively arts and entertainment district and fresh, local seafood make it the ideal destination. Championship golf, a variety of water activities, one-of-a kind event venues, city-wide historic tours and a gracious hospitality community are also sure to make your visit in Mobile a memorable one.

Several new art galleries, shops and restaurants have opened within the historic downtown area over the last year or so. Mobilians celebrate and appreciate the coastal way of life each and every day. You can find our love of the coast in our food, music, festivals, and attractions but especially in our people. There are numerous ways to get out on the water, from kayaks to airboats to sailboats to deep-sea charters. We host festivals year-round, celebrating everything from live music to shrimp to the arts to flowers. If you’re a military buff, then we have several historic sites and attractions that will take you from the Civil War to present day. If you like architecture, then a walking and/or driving tour of the many historic districts, churches and homes Mobile has is a must-do, if you’re a foodie, then you can eat your way along the bay. Are you are an art lover? Then you can visit dozens of galleries and museums that range from folk to fine art. Love the water, then a kayak, airboat or charter fishing boat is waiting for you! And of course, we’re America’s original Mardi Gras!
