The Dauphin Island Park & Beach Board, formed in 1954 to provide public access to Dauphin Island’s natural resources after the first bridge to the mainland, operates as a public nonprofit organization on Dauphin Island, Alabama. It functions as an extension of Mobile County government, with a Board of Trustees nominated by the Mobile County Commission and incorporated in 1998 to manage land and public use for the island. The board does not rely on state, county, or local tax dollars for its operational funding. Its mission targets the general public that does not own property on the island, as well as Alabama citizens, by offering family-oriented recreational opportunities and promoting tourism in a way that protects the natural environment. As a participant in the recreational facilities sector, it emphasizes public access to natural resources while balancing use with conservation, and it maintains a small staff to administer its programs from its Dauphin Island base.
