Get to Know Bon Secour

The area is the epitome of easy living with fishing being the main priority of the day. The name “Bon Secour” derives from the French phrase meaning “Safe Harbor” due to the secluded location on the inside coast of the Fort Morgan peninsula of Southern Alabama.

Home to one of the largest shrimp companies in the region, Bon Secour still maintains an eclectic and cozy feel. Simplicity and southern comfort combine to create a truly unique community. The pace is slow and the fishing is good in Bon Secour, AL!

The area is located in between Foley and Gulf Shores, on the west side of Highway 59. Starting from the Intracoastal Bridge in Gulf Shores it extends north to County Road 10. There are other county highways that lead to Bon Secour including County Road 4, also called Oyster Bay Road, County Road 6, and County Road 8. One can drive to the beach within 10-20 minutes or to the Eastern Shore in about 30 minutes.
