The new sports mecca - al.com: "There was a time when the south part of the county was known for drawing tourists almost exclusively for the sugar-white sands along the beaches of Pleasure Island.

And it's not just any sports coming to south Baldwin County, but large productions like 60-team high school softball tournaments and championship events like the SEC women's soccer tournament."
