The South Beach Trail in Fairhope was funded by Recreational Trails Program grant written by Debbie for the city. Approximately 80% of the $138,000 was spent on the multipurpose trail, along with a reading pod area for school children and small assemblies. The other 20% of the funding came from city “in-kind” services. The trail winds through a tree enhanced park with a small beach at its southern most end, that until now was inaccessible. Stairs have been built to connect the southern end of the trail up the beach head to the Eastern Shore Trail that runs through Fairhope to Weeks Bay Estuary to the south and the Battleship Uss. Alabama to the North.
