Site details

Alabama Point (the Perdido Pass jetties) is a popular walk-in shore dive on the east/southeast side of Perdido Pass in Orange Beach, with public beach parking, restrooms and showers. The rock-and-concrete jetty drops into roughly 5-21 ft of water and hosts abundant marine life, but the area carries heavy boat traffic and tidal current, so divers should use a dive flag and time the dive for an incoming tide near high water. Visibility can reach about 25 ft on good days.
