We had our boat at this marina for almost 18 months. The first year went fine with no issues. For…read morecontext we own a 22 ft center console fishing boat. My husband is the primary boater and just recently turned 70 and has developed knee issues (total knee replacement surgery). We were no longer able to get in and out of the boat safely without falls so the time came to sell the boat. At this point our boat had been at Barber for 18 months with never a problem. We pulled the boat, told the marina we were cancelling and fully expected to get hit with at least one months charges for a "30 day notice". That is not what happened. They told us since we did not cancel at the one year mark the contract automatically rolled over for another year - we were never informed it was an auto renew. My bad for not catching that but still we gave them 30 days notice. They then told us we would have to pay the monthly rate for the time it had been in the boatel AND they kept our security deposit. When we asked them why we weren't getting at least our security deposit back we were told that was the policy since we did not cancel at the one year mark. That's crap. This place is just looking for ways to separate you from your money - go some place else. Lastly, there's nothing out there. No restaurants, no shops, no nothing. Just this really crappy marina.

I originally came out to Barber Marina to see the Lady In The Bay, but she was removed when I…read moresearched for her. I asked a staff member and I think she was out for refurbishment. She is supposed to be in Bay La Launch. The drive out here is pretty nice. Good thing for me (and you) is that there are other sights you can visit while out here. On your way in on Barber Parkway, you will pass Bamahenge, Dinosaurs In The Woods, Giant Sundial, and Knights In The Woods. Some are a little hidden, but if you know to look for them, you can find them! Everything is free to enjoy as long as you can find them! The marina is very well kept! On the way in, there is a large fountain at the roundabout. I was greeted by one of the resident cats! On the steps by the shop were a couple more cats. I loved petting the one and watching the other two take their cat nap! On the deck of the Ship Store, there are some intricately carved "Crab" chairs. All around the area are dolphins, pelican, and seahorses sculptures, too! I'm not sure if I'll make another special drive out here just to see the Lady In The Bay although I really would have liked to have seen her!

This year was extra special having Mallory " Malpal" as our beach attendant. When I say her customer service was impeccable, that's an understatement. She is one of the hardest working beach attendants I've ever seen. Her work ethic and customer service speaks for itself but her personality and character is a different positive topic. She was VERY attentive and even remembered which one of us needed more shade and which one of us could stand more direct sun. Mallory is a HUGE asset. She added to the enjoyment of our annual trip and will never be forgotten. Fantastic trip to Orange Beach made even better by having Mallory as our Beach attendant.

Relish the sights along a peaceful water side view secluded distant from tourist crowded beach…read morehustle & bustle Offering a peaceful relaxing pace for enjoying sunsets & fun activities ranging from fishing, swimming other recreational activities & a dock for enjoying bird watching & sunsets along the waterside. Each day dusk till Dawn locals & tourists alike gather enjoying their day's activities starting with watching a sunrise rise above the water from the docks beach side or comfort within their cars. Convenient parking is limited so early arrival is suggested unless parking farther away & enjoying a brisk walk is your desire. Fishermen are prevalent along sandbanks opening their day's casting lines anticipating catching sand or speckled trout & other species including redfish flounder & Spanish mackerel. Salinity levels attributed via the Gulf flowing in breeds great conditions offering diverse catches. Abundant sandbanks & shallow depths makes finding that special spot. Anglers visiting will find disappointment dock fishing here offering no opportunities for a catch as fish have no interest within that spot & looking down into clear waters it is evident. It is rare observation docks offer good fishing opportunities. Stick with the shore or distant banks. Swimmers & water recreationalists enjoy shallow water devoid from undertows & deep depths offering least anxietal thoughts of common dangers found within the Gulf. From my observations kayaking seems favored most amongst water recreationalists outside of swimming. Distant from fisherman & swimmers upbank an observation dock is available offering bird watching enthusiasts anticipating to spot gulls, terns,brown pelicans & other shore birds. An illustrated sign for bird identification is posted for non enthusiasts wishing to identify birds sighted. Coin-op binoculars are absent so I recommend anyone wishing for up close views to bring binoculars & keep their cameras handy. Who knows? Maybe you might sight a non native or least common birds here. For additional resources go to Alabama Birding trails site & download their coastal birding trails pdf. Happy Watching. day enjoyed by all until tomorrow's fun filled with new & consistent visitors alike. Be sure to like on FB & tell a friend https://m.facebook.com/littlelagoonpass/

The Little Lagoon Pass Park is a great spot for taking in the sites and accessing the beach. The…read moreLittle Lagoon Pass is located three miles west of Highway 59 on West Beach Boulevard (Highway 182). There's restrooms, a fishing pier, an outdoor shower, and water fountain on site. Paid parking is located on the northeast side of the Lee Callaway Bridge. The cost to park is $5 for up to four hours or $10 all day but, as it is with all the city and state park and beach areas that have paid parking, residents with window stickers park free. What's you'll find here is a protected beach on the north side of the pass that is popular with local beachers and fishermen and a nice spot on those days when the surf on the Gulf is too rough or currents are dangerous. Lagoon Pass is a shallow waterway connecting Little Lagoon to the Gulf and is in regular need of dredging. There seems to be a floating dredging barge there quite often. On the southern end if the pass is the Gulf of Mexico with a very nice stretch of the white powdery sand with lifeguards on duty. You can park and cross the street to this area or you can walk by the pass under the bridge. Bottom line: The area is well maintained and is normally less crowded than many of the other beaches. http://facebook.com/littlelagoonpass/

Today is the 2nd anniversary that Hurricane Sally slammed into into Orange Beach, AL with a direct…read morehit. Most repairs have been done but things are still being put back together both for private residents and local governments. In Orange Beach, two iconic locations are still awaiting repairs from storm damage, Waterfront Park Pier and the Perdido Pass fishing wall. There's several sections of this fishing area that is fenced off due to boards missing and damaged concrete but there's still a lot of space to toss your line in the water. Here we are 2 years later and still waiting on repairs to started in earnest. I understand that an application for FEMA help with the repairs has been made, but when the "hurry up and wait" SOP of the government is in the mix it certainly add time to the process. This area was damaged years ago and basically abandoned by the state because of the prohibitive cost of having it repaired. Orange Beach stepped in and asked for permission to pay for the repairs to keep this unique and popular spot open to the public. The land is owned by the state and the city has funded the improvements but then came Sally. The boardwalk starts at the end of The Gulf restaurant area and follows the Pass all the way under and beyond the bridge to a small sandy beach. There's mounted park benches all along the stretch, except where damage is fenced off, and bait stations along the rails. It's well lit and there's plenty of free parking, including handicap. There's no running water in the area and currently there's 2 port-a-potties. The channel in and around the Perdido Pass bridge is typically busy with both recreational and commercial fishing vessels so if you're not into fishing, at this spot, it's okay because the view is spectacular. You're directly across from the Gulf State Park beach is located on the east side of The Pass and offers some beautiful stretches of white sandy beaches, with roughly 70 acres of prime real estate. So sometimes it's just nice to sit a spell :-) Perdido Pass Fishing Wall is the old local name for this area, sometimes also referred to as Seawall Park, but it now has an official designated name, and new sign, of Orange Beach Fishing Park at the Pass, cool! If you'd like an excellent video tour, pre-Sally check: https://youtu.be/jc7t0-whT40 Bottom line: Lots of boats, heron, gulls, the occasional pod of dolphins and even manatee that come through here, but fishing is the big attraction at Orange Beach Fishing Park at the Pass.
