CENTRAL BALDWIN

Loxley Silverhill

Robertsdale

Summerdale

At the center of Baldwin County sit the municipalities of Central Baldwin — Loxley, Robertsdale, Silverhill and Summerdale. The central area of the county offers fun events throughout the year such as the Silverhill Memorial Car Show and the Robertsdale Rotary Rodeo.

LOXLEY The city of Loxley begins where Interstate 10 meets Highway 59. Many activities take place in the town center around Loxley Municipal Park and Loxley Civic Center, which is home each year to the Baldwin County Strawberry Festival and the City Rhythm Big Band.

SUMMERDALE A rural town in south-central Baldwin County, Summerdale is the last stop of this area before entering the white sands and salty waters of the county. Looking for adventure? Visit the alligator farm Alligator Alley or the Spear Hunting Museum, home of the “Greatest Spear Hunter in Recorded History” Gene Morris. Although Morris died in 2011, the museum remains open to share his tales with visitors. 14 Big Beautiful Baldwin • 2022-23

ROBERTSDALE The “Hub of Baldwin County” is a short drive down Highway 59 between Loxley and Summerdale. Robertsdale is home to many parks, including Honeybee Park, home to the Honeybee Festival, and Garrett Park, which boasts the city’s splash pad and numerous baseball and softball fields. The Baldwin County Fair, one of the state’s longestrunning county fairs, calls Robertsdale’s Baldwin County Coliseum home. In September, view art, livestock and hobby exhibitions, including canning, baked goods, scrapbooking and more.

S I LV E R H I L L The only town of Central Baldwin County that does not contain a portion of Highway 59, Silverhill is the area’s smallest and oldest municipality. Silverhill celebrates the heritage of its four flags (Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Norway and Finland) every year with the annual Silverhill Heritage Day Festival. This town is also home to Wales West RV Park, featuring the Wales West Light Railway and nightly activities like bluegrass and potluck dinners. Guests can ride the train year-round, or come for a special event during Easter, Halloween or Christmas. GulfCoastMedia.com
