Point Clear
County:
Baldwin
Just south of Fairhope lies the resort community of Point Clear, home to Marriott's Grand Hotel. Amenities that surround the hotel include a 36-hole golf course, boat marina, extensive bay frontage, and every facility common to an elegant resort. An active Polo Club, a polo annual event, a Festival of Art, Mardi Gras, water sports, and sailing are just a few of the attractions to the Point Clear area. Nestled just 23 miles southeast of metropolitan Mobile, this "Queen of Southern Resorts" celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1997 in magnificent style. Sprawling over 550 acres, the hotel invites guests to enjoy a mint julep in great southern style, perfect their backswing at championship courses, play tennis, horseback ride, swim, feed the ducks along the lagoon path, or fish from the dock. Home to the Punta Clara Kitchen for more than 35 years, an elegant Victorian house presents an extensive array of candies and preserves. Nearby Fairhope provides a wide selection of commercial conveniences including restaurants and shops. Panoramic Mobile Bay provides the scenic backdrop for Point Clear.
