About the Business
The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center, located at 12295 Alabama 180 in Gulf Shores, Alabama, is a park that encompasses approximately 7,000 acres of diverse coastal lands. From beach dunes to pine-oak woodlands, the refuge offers a variety of habitats for visitors to explore and enjoy.
Established by Congress in 1980, the refuge is dedicated to protecting neotropical migratory songbird habitat and endangered species such as the green, loggerhead, and Kemp's ridley sea turtles, as well as the Alabama beach mouse. It serves as an important stopover and staging habitat for migratory songbirds along the Alabama coastline.
The Visitor Center provides information on the wildlife and conservation efforts within the refuge, offering opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and learning about the natural wonders of the Gulf Coast. Visitors can also volunteer to help with conservation efforts and make a lasting impact on the environment.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, conservationist, or simply looking to enjoy the outdoors, the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is the perfect place to connect with nature and contribute to the protection of wildlife and their habitats.
Reviews
"Stellar refuge. Quiet trails lead through various coastal habitat."
"Beautiful at sunset, good for water pictures and birds. Nice and easy for getting to all areas"
"The low rating isn't the fault of anyone or anything other then my personal preference of southern Alabama sucks as far as nature preserves. Tiny trees, humidity, extreme amounts of mosquitos and spiders and frogs. Armadillos are pretty neat but that's about it"
"Best place to go for that peaceful outdoor & beach family vacation"
"Helpful volunteer staff with information and able to answer questions. Small wildlife and habitat displays and artifacts for kids to look at and enjoy."
