Each summer, West End Public Beach, which is located on Dauphin Island’s western end, welcomes visitors. However, it’s far less crowded than many of Alabama’s more popular beaches.

What attracts most people to this beautiful beach, other than its turquoise water and sugar-white sand, is its laid-back atmosphere. Over the years, West End Public Beach has also become a popular hangout spot for families.

West End Public Beach is also a great place to catch one of Dauphin Island’s famous sunsets, which are truly stunning. It’s no wonder this beach town is the “Sunset Capital of Alabama.”
