The focal point of the Eastern Shore's ever-growing tourism industry, Fairhope is a relatively young city, founded in 1894 by a group of Iowan idealists seeking a utopian way of life and believing that their efforts had "fair hope" of succeeding. The city's consistent growth is testimony to its heritage of fortitude and perseverance, two qualities you won't need if you're looking for "shop-'til-you-drop" opportunities. You'll find over 80 locally owned specialty stores, art galleries, antique shops, and cafes tucked in the nooks and crannies along a five-block stretch in downtown Fairhope's village-like atmosphere. Sound like utopia? Make sure you stop for a bite to eat at one of the delicious restaurants or delis, many of which offer outdoor patios.Fairhope is located along the AL 98 alternate, bordering Mobile Bay.
