The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge offers several easy trails through sawgrass marsh and slash pine forests, providing opportunities to spot 500 different animal and bird species. The Fort Morgan Peninsula lies in the bird and butterfly migration route. During early spring and late fall, the entire peninsula comes to life with birds and butterflies, including Monarchs and Gulf Fritillaries. In addition to the typical gulls and sandpipers, you may encounter ospreys, great blue herons, and various hawk species, such as sharp-shinned and Cooper's hawks.

Historic Fort Morgan is only 4.5 miles from the cottage, and you can catch the car ferry to Dauphin Island, where you'll find more walking trails and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.
