Bayou La Batre is located along the Mississippi Sound on the Gulf of Mexico and is part Mobile County. This gem of southern Alabama has become the seafood capital of the state, and has a distinctly Southern character with a tangible French influence. Bayou La Batre encompasses nearly eight miles of land, most of which is rural and undeveloped. There are a few low-lying apartment complexes available to renters, and most of the listing are concentrated near the water. Bayou La Batre is home to a large shipbuilding industry. Along with the seafood industry, there are plenty of employment opportunities here. If you can tear yourself away from the incredible views and waterfront atmosphere, State Route 188 will carry you up to Interstate 10 where you can head into Mobile or Gulfport.
