Scenes from the Eastern Shore
of Mobile Bay
The Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay is one of the best-kept secrets of the South. Quaint towns, well-manicured lawns, shops, golf courses, excellent schools, and a rich history dating back to British times all combine to make this area one of the most desirable places to live and retire. And then there are the people who live here. A haven for artists and writers, the Eastern Shore boasts a rich cultural heritage which attracts interesting people from all over the country. From artists like Nall, Jo Patton, Christine Linson, among many others, to writers like Winston Groom, W.E.B. Griffin, Judith Richards, Terry Cline, Rick Bragg, Fannie Flagg, Frank Turner Hollon, Jennifer Paddock, Sidney Thompson, and yes, Jimmy Buffett, all of whom have called the Eastern Shore their home at one time or another.
The beach is less than an hour away, and the area abounds in natural beauty and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Fishing, boating, sailing, hunting, swimming, and golf are among the activities that come to mind, all in plentiful supply in the nearby environs.
