Mobile
Your Gateway to the Gulf
Mobile, Alabama is the twelfth busiest port in the country and is the social, economic, and creative hub of the entire Gulf Coast - our colorful downtown has drawn people for centuries. A fusion of economic development, innovation, and old-world charm, Mobile is often referred to as the “Gateway to the Gulf.” Downtown is host to over 1,000 hotel rooms in walking distance from an electric cuisine scene; with dozens of locally owned restaurants & cafes, museums, art galleries, nightlife, shopping, concerts, waterfront eco-tours, and paddle boat cruises.
The Port City is conveniently located at the intersection of interstates I-10 and I-65 and is accessible by Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) and newly opened (downtown) Mobile International Airport (BFM). Mobile is also a short drive from three international airports (GPT, PNS, & MSY). Whether you're looking to kick back on a beach, catch a cruise or explore America's Amazon, Mobile is the perfect place to kick off your Gulf Coast Vacation!
