Originally, Tolstoy Park was 10 acres in the woods, and secluded. Henry Stuart, The Hermit Poet, moved to Fairhope, Alabama from Idaho because he was diagnosed with consumption (tuberculosis) when he was 65 during the 1920's. The doctor recommended he move to a warmer climate for his health, and Henry Stuart bought ten acres, sight unseen. Mr Stuart ended up living another 22 years before he moved back to Oregon at the age of 88 and passed away. His home is unique, it is round, hurricane proof, and particularly dug into the ground to help regulate temperature. Th Tolstoy House is on The National Register of Historic Places. It is a unique and peaceful place, great for kids, and unique.

Most things have names and this one is no exception. The Jubilee Parkway was completed in 1978 and crosses over Mobile Bay. It is 7.5 miles long and does not have an area for pedestrians or bicycles. It has two lanes in each direction with shoulders and a taller concrete barrier. The road is smooth, other than the occasional thumps from sectional joins. As bridges go, I'm a fan.

The view is lovely. I suppose I've been lucky, because I've only been caught in traffic once on the bridge and it was for several hours. This was before they updated with current on and off ramps. Unfortunately, my daughter who was only 6 at the time had to urgently go to the bathroom. So my advice is to make a pit stop before you hit the bridge. I'll never take that chance again!

From there, descend a wooden stairway down to the beach and water. There is a second wooden deck halfway down the stairs with benches where one can stop, rest, & look out at the water. The hillside surrounding the stairs is covered in vegetation, probably kudzu, but I could be wrong. Beautiful breathtaking views. However, I came very early in the morning, most likely at high tide, plus we had storms + flood advisories that week, so the water had come all the way up to the very bottom of the stairwell, so no beach access that morning. If that happens, May Day Park & Belrose Park are also nearby with beach and water access. There are No Parking signs all near McMillian Bluff entrance, streets are very old, narrow, & in residential areas. Please be aware.
