Alabama is the 30th largest state in the United States of America. It is situated in the southeastern part of the lower 48 states, between Georgia and Mississippi. Alabama has a coastline on the Gulf of Mexico. While the coast is smaller than those of Florida or Mississippi, it does have a large, pristine sugar-white beach that is a popular vacation spot: Gulf Shores. Birmingham -way down, in Alabam'- is the most populous city of the state and a nice city to spend some time. It is also a good starting point for seeing the sights around it.
Birmingham, Alabama's largest city, offers the Civil Rights Institute and Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Located in the center of Alabama is the state capital. Montgomery was pivotal in the civil rights movement of the 1960s - to evoke this era visit the Civil Rights Memorial. The attractive port city of Mobile and the Gulf Coast are located in the southern part of Alabama on the glorious Gulf of Mexico. Visit the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park, Mobile's Historic District and relax on the phenomenal beaches at Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Further along the coast from these resorts is historical Fort Morgan.
