Indian Shell Mound Park

Maintained and administered by Alabama Marine Resources Division, these 11 acres of subtropical natural wonder represent a botanical treasure-trove found on no other Gulf barrier island. Several plant species occurring here are representatives of families found as far inland as the Appalachian Mountains and from as far south as Yucatan state, Mexico. Many were probably transported here by Indian groups hundreds of years ago for medicinal and culinary purposes.
