Visitor questions:

Question: Are beach chairs allowed on Bon Secour NWR beach? Are there any new public beach access points to Fort Morgan beach?
Asked by Cathy almost 4 years ago
Answer: Yes, beach chairs are allowed on Bon Secour NWR beach. As far as we are informed, there are only 3 official public beach access points to Fort Morgan Beach: Mobile Street (parking lot available), Our Road (wild parking only), and an unnamed road in the west end of the peninsula near the historic Fort (no parking, road badly damaged). Also, there are many inofficial beach access points along Ponce de Leon that runs parallel to the beach. However, parking is scarce there.
Question: Is this beach clothing optional? Or is there one close by?
Asked by Prepper 11 months ago
Answer: No, it's not a clothing optional beach. Nudism is officially prohibited in national wildlife preserves like this one. The closest clothing optional area is on Ship Island Beach. Check it out on our site.
