✨What's New in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Little Lagoon Pass is located in the middle of LIttle Lagoon and provides a way for water to move between the Gulf of Mexico and Little Lagoon.
On the lagoon side you will see a dredging boat from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). They move the sand to make sure that the Little Lagoon Pass stays open.
The dredging helps to ensure that the water is moving and supports the lagoon's ecosystem.
There are bathrooms in the parking area before walking under the bridge to the beach.
From the parking area you can walk under the bridge on Little Lagoon Pass to reach the Gulf side beach.
You can walk through the sand or on the concrete edge. Just be careful on the concrete edge it is a drop down to the water.
