Alabama Gulf State Park, has a car park & rest rooms, at Alabama Point East (Where the coordinates & photos in the gallery were all taken) which gives access to long coastal boardwalks, to the Sugar white beaches of the Gulf coast & The Alabama Birding Trail #1 giving panoramic coastal views from the Florida Point.

The Border between Florida & Alabama used to be the old Perido Pass Then in 1906 a hurricane came along & moved the pass 3 miles, made a 7 acre lake dissapear, & formed a new Island (Ono) & created Florida Point. this started a border dispute which was pemenantly resolved on May 29 1953.
