Little Lagoon is a shallow, brackish water paradise nestled along the coast of Gulf Shores, Alabama. This serene fishing destination spans approximately 10 miles in length and ranges from a half-mile to three-quarters of a mile across, with an average depth of 4-6 feet. Covering approximately 2,480 surface acres, Little Lagoon creates a unique ecosystem formed by the mixing of saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico and freshwater from inland drainages. The western shore portion of the lagoon is part of the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, while the remainder is private property. This tranquil body of water provides excellent opportunities for anglers seeking inshore saltwater species in a more protected environment than the open Gulf.
