Lower Alabama
From Academic Kids
Lower Alabama is a term used to describe the southernmost part of Alabama. It is properly applied only to the two counties which border the Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Bay, Baldwin County and Mobile County. This area is characterized by extensive wetlands, but also by long, sandy beaches which are very conducive to tourism. Many deluxe golf courses have been developed in the area in recent decades.
Lower Alabama is also a slang term used by some Floridians to refer to the part of Florida directly south of Alabama, especially the area around Pensacola. This is often jokingly shortened to "L.A."
