Sportfishing Yachts at Perdido Pass and Waterfront Homes in Orange Beach

Two Sportfishing Yachts at Perdido Pass: What These Orange Beach Photos Say About Waterfront Real Estate

Perdido Pass Has a Way of Stopping Me in My Tracks

Yesterday, I photographed two beautiful sportfishing yachts running through Orange Beach at Perdido Pass, and it reminded me why this stretch of the Gulf Coast continues to attract serious boaters, offshore fishing enthusiasts, second-home owners, and waterfront buyers who want more than just a pretty view.

There is something pitch-perfect about seeing a sportfishing yacht make its way through the pass. The outriggers. The tower. The wake curling behind the stern. The Gulf light reflecting across the water. It is a scene that feels both powerful and elegant, and it tells a…

Orientation: Light, Breeze, and View — Living with the Elements on Ono Island

Orientation: Light, Breeze, and View — Living with the Elements on Ono Island

There’s something deeply Southern about the way Ono Island breathes — the salt air, the sway of marsh grass, and the rhythm of tide and light.

I took this photo on a quiet evening, standing on the soft sand while the sky transformed with pastel hues. The stillness of the moment—waves breaking in the distance, the smell of salt in the air, and the sweeping views across the dunes—captures the essence of what it feels like to live here.

Living on the Gulf Coast is more than just owning a house near the water. It’s about finding a place where life slows down, where neighbors stop to chat after a walk on the beach, and where every day ends with the promise of a sunset over the…

If you’ve been watching Gulf Shores evolve, you know there’s something special happening just north of the Intracoastal Waterway—and it’s called Waterway Village.
