Bellville Bay and Ono Harbour: Hidden Gems on Ono Island in Orange Beach, Alabama

By Meredith Amon

Ono Harbour on Ono Island in Orange Beach, Alabama

As a longtime real estate advisor and homeowner on Ono Island, I’ve had the privilege of exploring every nook and cranny of this breathtaking coastal community. Among the many stunning enclaves, two stand out as true hidden gems—Bellville Bay and Ono Harbour. These exclusive areas offer a rare blend of privacy, deep-water access, and an unrivaled coastal lifestyle that makes them highly desirable for boating enthusiasts and luxury homebuyers alike.


Bellville Bay: A Tranquil Retreat on Ono Island

Nestled on the northern side of Ono Island, Bellville Bay is a sanctuary for those who crave peace, natural beauty, and easy access to the water. This quiet bay provides a protected environment for boaters, with calm waters ideal for paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing.

The properties surrounding Bellville Bay are known for their expansive waterfront views and generous lot sizes, giving homeowners ample space to design their dream coastal retreat. Many of these homes are designed with private docks, offering direct access to the bay and beyond. Whether it’s a quick cruise to Bird Island, a sunset sail on Perdido Bay, or a deep-sea fishing adventure in the Gulf, Bellville Bay is a boater’s paradise.

I’ve had buyers tell me they were drawn to Bellville Bay for its secluded feel, where they can sip coffee on their dock while watching dolphins glide by. This is truly a place where nature and luxury seamlessly intertwine.


Ono Harbour: The Premier Deep-Water Access Community

Ono Harbour is one of the most sought-after areas on Ono Island, especially for those who prioritize deep-water access. Unlike other sections of the island that may require navigating shallower waterways, Ono Harbour offers some of the deepest, most navigable waters, making it an excellent choice for large yachts and sportfishing boats.

Many of the homes in Ono Harbour are equipped with private boat slips, high-end boat lifts, and waterfront designs that maximize stunning sunset views. This exclusive section of Ono Island also offers a community marina, further adding to the convenience for boaters.

One of my favorite aspects of Ono Harbour is its close-knit community feel. While Ono Island itself is gated and private, Ono Harbour offers an extra layer of exclusivity, attracting homeowners who appreciate luxury, privacy, and seamless Gulf access.

Living the Boating Lifestyle in Bellville Bay & Ono Harbour

What makes these two areas so special is their unparalleled boating access. From either Bellville Bay or Ono Harbour, you can be in the Gulf of Mexico within minutes, navigating through Ole River, Perdido Pass, or Terry Cove. It’s no surprise that serious boaters and anglers gravitate toward these sections of Ono Island.

I’ve had clients tell me that the convenience of stepping out their back door and being on the water in seconds was the deciding factor in their home purchase. Whether you’re a fishing enthusiast chasing red snapper and tuna, a leisure boater exploring the hidden sandbars of Perdido Bay, or a sunset cruiser docking at Zeke’s Landing for dinner, Bellville Bay and Ono Harbour offer an unmatched lifestyle.
