The Interstate Mullet Toss!

It’s here! The Interstate Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party kicks off today and we can’t wait to fling some fish.

If you have recently purchased real estate in Perdido Key or are enjoying an Orange Beach vacation, be sure to visit the Flora-Bama to check out this event. Bring your throwing arm, though. We really mean it when we say “mullet toss”.

Each year hundreds of people gather along the sugar white shore of Perdido Key and Orange Beach to attempt tossing a favorite local fish across the state border. Really. All you have to do is stand in a circle and attempt to throw your fish from the beaches of Northwest Florida onto the beaches of Coastal Alabama.

Not only is this event fun but a portion of the proceeds even benefit a great cause, the Community Drug & Alcohol Council, as well as other youth programs in the area. Stick around after your throw to enjoy the beach party, four days of live music, great food and cool drinks. See you on the sand!

New Perdido Key Snorkeling Reef

Adding to the already beautiful, white sandy beach of Perdido Key, an artificial reef is now in place for locals and visitors to enjoy.   Last week, spectators gathered to watch as a barge lowered concrete structures into the Gulf of Mexico just south of Public Beach Access # 1 off Sandy Key Drive.

Once complete, the reef is projected to be approximately 280 feet long and between 10 and 16 feet deep.  This reef will bring in many species of marine life including turtles, octopus, and an array of tropical reef fish.   Although there are many wrecks for divers to enjoy, there are a limited number of shore locations for divers and snorkelers.  There are currently artificial reefs at Pensacola Beach and Navarre; however this is the first beach accessible underwater attraction in the Perdido Key area.

Perdido Key, Florida is the perfect destination accommodating paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and diving.   Visit your local Pointe South office for a list of enjoyable coastal activities and attractions.

Please help us maintain a healthy environment for our marine life and enjoy our beaches and all the beauty that Northwest Florida and Coastal Alabama have to offer.

Note:  Florida Law requires a diver-down flag for snorkeling and diving.  Please contact a local diving agency for rules, regulations, and professional guidance.

Mardi Gras in Perdido Key!

The Gulf Coast is well known for Mardi Gras celebrations. We love to let the good times roll down the coast, and that includes in Perdido Key!

We may not have Bourbon street but we do have loads of fun events and festivals taking place during the celebrations and that includes the annual Perdido Key Mardi Gras Festival!

The Mardi Gras Festival kicks off with the annual boat parade which begins at Galvez Landing. Participants will make their way down the Intracoastal and around before returning to the landing. After the parade enjoy spending time at Hub Stacey’s on the Point. The kids will enjoy the special activities that have been cooked up just for them. Speaking of cooking, be sure to line up to taste the Cajun creations entered in the annual cook-off. And, you can watch as the boat parade awards are given out. Be sure to stick around for the evening fireworks displays, as well.
