BAYOU LA BATRE & CODEN
Seafood Capitol of Alabama
ABOUT THE AREA:
​
Known in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a resort town with medicinal spring water, historic Bayou La Batre is now renowned for its fresh Gulf seafood and is often called the “Seafood Capital of Alabama.” Bayou La Batre heralds the region’s fishing industry with annual events such as the “Blessing of the Fleet” held each May and September’s “Taste of the Bayou.” Be sure to spend your time birding, fishing, and boating, and don’t miss a ride down scenic byway 188 to see century-old oaks.
