Since there is no official boundary set for the "Eastern Shore" its usage is subject to change.
The Eastern Shore is composed of three municipalities, Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope.
Three smaller communities, Montrose, Barnwell, and Point Clear are also often included in the region.
Students in the Eastern Shore is served by Baldwin County Board of Education.
Tourism is predominant in Point Clear because of a large classical-style hotel and the presence of a championship golf course.
