"Gay Martin has crisscrossed the state and found the obvious things to visit, then looked a little deeper and found the hard-to-find, the things easily missed.

Whatever you do when you travel, get off the interstate. Who needs more bland rest stops and fast food? Get into the heart of things with Globe Pequot's Off the Beaten Path series. Devoted to travelers with a taste for the unique, this easy-to-use guide will help you discover the hidden places in Alabama that most tourists miss - unsung, unspoiled, and out-of-the-way finds that liven up a week's vacation, a day trip, or an afternoon.
"Southwest Alabama's hottest hangout is the Flora-Bama. Located ten minutes from Gulf Shores on the Alabama/Florida line, the place bills itself as ¿one of the nation's last great roadhouse watering holes.' Here's the best vantage point for watching the annual Interstate Mullet Toss, held the last weekend in April. (What's a mullet toss? An event on the beach where people vie for the dubious distinction of pitching a dead fish the greatest distance¿from Florida to Alabama.)"

A great guide to a great state!,
By Dale Carbon "boxing for life" (Alabama..roll tide!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alabama Off the Beaten Path, 6th: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)
As someone who has lived in Alabama for over 20 years now, this is old hat for me. However, if you want to get a taste of modern culture with a mixture of the old southern traditions and beautiful countryside, then this book is for you. Come by and see us sometime!
