Florida Point Beach may also be referred to as Perdido Pass. Locals may use the terms Florida Point, Perdido Pass or Alabama Point interchangeably when discussing where Perdido Pass connects Cotton Bayou, Terry’s Cove, and Bayou Saint John to the Gulf of Mexico. Florida Point is listed on the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail and is part of the Gulf State Park. Bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Perdido Pass to the west, this location offers frequent views of incoming and outgoing charter boats. Boardwalks passing through the dune line provide beach access along the Gulf of Mexico. The walk may be considered lengthy by some, and heavy items may not want to be included for the excursion. Parking is free. Onsite amenities include boardwalks, covered picnic areas, restrooms, and outdoor showers. Those looking for surfing or “the jetties” may want to explore the western side of Perdido Pass.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests at least 95% of the time
