Orange Beach, AL- While no evidence of Harmful Algal Blooms (aka Red Tide) has been found in Orange Beach, samples of the toxic substance have been reported as close as Perdido Key (as reported by NOAA).
The rain we have experienced over the last two nights will hopefully slow the spread of this Red Tide event, and prevent it from reaching Orange Beach.
