This 5.5-mile barrier island, nestled near the Gulf of Mexico, is surrounded by the scenic Bayou St. John and Old River.

Canals weave through the landscape, perfect for boat tours, with Ono Boulevard providing picturesque drives.

Though it’s a private community, boat tours offer glimpses into its splendor. Its proximity to Orange Beach ensures safety with emergency services close by. While its barrier island nature means it’s weathered storms, it stands resilient, a testament to its enduring allure for those seeking both history and luxury.
