Later Winter around Mobile
Last year my spouse and I spent a few days in Mobile (on the way to New Orleans) and liked it so much we decided to return to the area this winter or spring. We stayed downtown last time and, while we'll spend at least a couple of nites there again, are thinking of combining it with a few days around Gulf Shores or Dauphin Island. We're not really "beach people" and that is not really "beach season" but we do enjoy walking on the beach, eating seafood, etc. Personally, I like fairly remote places although my spouse likes somewhere with a little more "action." We're both 70.
Which would be better for us, and do you have any recommendations of places to stay?
Thanks in advance!

I think either would be fine, though I have personally only been to Gulf Shores.
I would try to go as late in March or early in April as you can because it can be pretty chilly on the water if it is breezy.

Thanks folks. March is apparently high season. Mardi Gras looks interesting; it is in late February this year and the parades go on for some time, so that's a possibility.
Laissez bon temps rouler!
