1.Orange Beach
Orange Beach was No. 1? That used to be my favorite place in Alabama, before it got too exciting.
Didn't another publication not too long ago, state that Orange Beach was the among the worst places to live in Alabama?
Probably one of the more expensive places to live in Alabama.
I have two uncles with houses in or near Orange Beach, since I was a kid. One has a house on Perdido Bay/Bear Point area. We would spend summers there, swimming, rafting, fishing, crabbing, walking along the beach at night with lanterns. The other uncle has a house across the main drag from the beach, on a canal that empties into the tail end of Perdido Bay near the bridge. He had a 12 foot aluminum boat that we would take shrimping and fishing in Perdido Bay. A third uncle had a house on the Fish River, a fourth uncle lived in Mobile but had a 35 ft boat we would take shrimping and deep sea fishing, usually off Dauphin Island. My parents have had a place on the Magnolia River for 25 years, when I was a kid they would park a camper in Orange Beach every summer. Most of my childhood summers were spent in Baldwin County. Far from being the worst place to live, it was a dream for me.
