Alabama to the west and continues through Perdido Key,
Florida to the east. It encompasses Ft. Morgan, Gulf
Shores, Orange Beach, Ono Island, and Perdido
Key. This area claims some of the
world's most beautiful beaches. We are a family resort
with much to offer. Golf, charter boat fishing, sailing,
tennis and scuba diving are some of our outdoor
activities. Excellent restaurants and extraordinary
shopping are two of our indoor pastimes. We are home to
over half a dozen banks and our medical facilities are
growing steadily. We are a unique small community
complete with dentists, doctors, lawyers, stock brokers,
and our own airport. We are easily accessible by road or

on the gulf, on golf courses and on bays, bayous and
islands. We have the right property for you and your

how inexpensive condominium ownership can be. Palm Harbor is a Planned Unit
