Growing up in Alabama from birth through college, I didn’t hear much about the beach bar Flora-Bama, despite it being around far longer than I’ve been alive. I took several Gulf Coast trips in my teens and early 20s, and yet, somehow, I’ve never been to this iconic beach bar on the Alabama-Florida line. It seems like I heard a lot more about it when I lived in Nashville and how it’s a must-do for music, oysters, beach bumming, and raising a toast – or several.
So, what’s all the fuss about? Let’s dive into the history and highlights.
Are you a veteran of this iconic beach bar on the Alabama-Florida line? Give me some first-timer tips before I make a plan to go! I’ve already got my eye on this blanket-sized beach towel.
If you’re considering a first visit yourself, you can see the full menu on the Flora-Bama website and stay up-to-the-minute on events via the Flora-Bama Facebook page.
