17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Clear The Runway

Most Alabamians may not realize it, but one of the most unique beach walks is right here in Alabama. Seashells and driftwood on a white sand beach, soft breezes, waves crashing, seagulls calling, pelicans and ospreys circling and diving, dolphins chasing schools of mullet in shallow water and some of the most stunning ocean sunrises and sunsets in the world happen every day along Pelican Peninsula.
