Amenities

Three football fields long — one of the largest private piers in the region.
Perfect for fishing, strolling, relaxing, yoga, or soaking in the bay breeze.
Includes a fish-cleaning station, wide water views, and plenty of room for guests.
Sunrises & Sunsets That Guests Never Forget
Portersville Bay is known for its dramatic and colorful skies.
Guests gather daily to watch the sun break across the water or melt into the horizon.
It is often described as “better than Florida” — and it is pure Alabama magic.
