The freshwater mixes with the saltwater of the Bay, and there are many lovely homes along Mobile Bay.
Mobile Bay is loaded with vegetation, including delta grass, Spanish moss, live oaks, cypress, and southern pines, which support the wildlife in the Bay.

We rode back to Luxury RV Park, sat on a picnic table, and watched the Fourth of July fireworks show over the Gulf Shore Beach. We were just a few blocks from the beach.
We went to the Gulf Coast Emporium Science Museum and IMAX Dome Theater in Mobile, Alabama.
My husband was trying to get into a parking spot when someone backed into the front of our LS Satun.
The accident broke out the passenger's headlight and bent the hood.
