People Enjoy A Ride In The Mobile Tensaw Delta Area On An Aa Airboat Express Tour — Take a “fun run” or slow down to spy wildlife with AA Airboat Express + other great Mobile Delta guides. (Visit Mobile)

Many Alabamians will head south to our beaches this summer, so we’re here to draw your eye just west of the route to one of our less-explored natural treasures you have to see to believe: the Mobile Tensaw Delta.

This National Natural Landmark is the second-largest river delta system in the country and one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America, earning the name “America’s Amazon.”

The region is definitely worth a detour on your beach trip—and even more special when you build a whole trip around it. Make Mobile your home base, which is just 250 miles from Birmingham.

Read on for tips to guide you through the Mobile Delta from the marshes to Mobile Bay.
