Must Do's at the Salty Dog from the Owners: 1) take a hot shower in the outdoor shower, don't just use it to rinse off from the beach (it's amazing); 2) read a book and/or take a nap in the hammock under the house; 3) enjoy your morning coffee on the exposed deck; 4) watch the sunset from the top level deck in the afternoon with your favorite cocktail; 5) play a board game on the screened porch; 6) use sidewalk chalk on the huge concrete driveway to play hopscotch or foursquare; 6) steam shrimp for dinner from Skinner's (or let them do it for you!); 7) try pigs in a blanket or a huge cinnamon roll from Lighthouse Bakery; 8) walk west on the beach to the 'cove' and see how many hermit crabs you can find; 9) go out on the beach at night with a flashlight to look for ghost crabs; and 10) relax, unplug, and have fun For additional insider tips and highlights, be sure to check out the owner's Facebook page (search: Salty Dog Dauphin Island).
