SO and I are driving from TX to FL in a couple months for a week long trip and looking to break up the drive and spend the night somewhere in MS/AL, any recommendations on fun/cute places to stay not too far off from I10? Would like somewhere we can walk around to stretch out and enjoy food before heading out the next day. Currently was thinking downtown Mobile but looking for other suggestions? Never been through this part of the country. TIA!

Wife and I did this in 2019—drove from California to Florida and obviously thru Texas. We just drove right through Mobile since it’s quite big, and continued another hour toward the gulf and stayed in Orange Beach, Alabama for a couple nights. We absolutely loved it! Cool vibe and great restaurants and you can just hang on the beach all day. And the nice thing is that Orange Beach is just on the other side of the state line from Pensacola, Florida so you could just continue your road trip from there. Highly recommend!

Where are you going in Florida? The “30A people” from Dallas tend to stay at the Renaissance Battle House in Mobile. Most rentals in 30A are strict about check in time so Mobile is a perfect place to do a leisurely morning before heading over.

Do not go to Mobile. I would recommend Pensacola, Destin, orange beach, gulf shores.

I am biased and love Pensacola. Lmk if you want specific destinations!

I drove that route a lot, most recently this year on Spring Break to Panama City Beach. Leave early and stop somewhere in LA for beignet (my wife favorite). Then try to hit either Orange Beach or FL and spend the night there. Of all my driving, I never spend any nights in MS or AL. My stops are N.O. area or Orange Beach. Try to avoid I-49 route through Alexandria. It’s so boring and no gas station to even stop for potty breaks.

Mobile is not a place I’d recommend walking around without a decent sized group.
