Hours of operation: 8AM to 8PM
The beaches are open to the public year round and during the Spring and Summer we collect a nominal environmental fee. The revenue from the environmental fee will be used to cover the cost of the Dauphin Island Park & Beach Board to maintain the cleanliness of the public beach. Over time, we will make improvements to current services and add additional services at the public beach and also provide educational programs to beach visitors.
Environmental fees:
Car $5.00
// Walk-ins $2.00
// RVs, Buses or Trailers $20.00
