Foley, AL

Foley is a Baldwin County city and one of the main inland centers of Alabama's Gulf Coast growth. It is part of the Daphne-Fairhope-Foley metro area, but it has a different feel from the bayfront towns: more retail, roads, and practical access to the beach corridor. Foley was named for its founder, John B. Foley, and local features include the Antique Rose Trail, Foley Railroad Museum, Tanger Outlets, and OWA Parks and Resort nearby. It works as a service and shopping hub for residents and visitors headed south.
