From 32 miles of Gulf of Mexico beaches to the Appalachian Mountains, Alabama offers diverse delights. Discover the world's largest space museum in Huntsville and explore thought-provoking Civil Rights sites in Montgomery, Selma and Birmingham. Enjoy the rich music heritage in places like Muscle Shoals and Florence and literary history in towns like Monroeville (inspiration for "To Kill a Mockingbird") and Bayou LaBatre ("Forrest Gump").
Alabama offers a delectable culinary experience. Known for its fresh Gulf Coast seafood and distinctive White BBQ sauce, made with a mayonnaise base instead of the traditional tomato base, it's a barbecue lover's dream. Shrimp & Grits, featuring Gulf Coast shrimp and hearty grits, is a local favourite. Other Southern and soulful culinary must haves are Fried Green Tomatoes, Classic Southern Smothered Pork Chops, Collard Greens, Fried Chicken and Tomato Pie.
