Childress Point is a spot on the north (bayside) of the peninsula between Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan, on Bon Secour Bay / Mobile Bay waters. The spot offers a sheltered and shallow body of water, calmer than the Gulf-side beaches. It's a good option for beginners who want to avoid ocean waves. The area is residential and quiet. The body of water is protected from Gulf wind and waves by the peninsula itself.
