Mobile Point extends from Gulf Shores to the west, towards historic Fort Morgan at the tip of the peninsula.

[3] Some Fort Morgan residents have sought to incorporate their community, and have pursued litigation against Gulf Shores.

The Fort Morgan Civic Association has stated that incorporation would enable the community to protect itself from waterfront development, after Alabama made a "$1.8 million investment in renovating the state's rundown beach house there".

Unofficially, along with Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, the community is considered to be a part of the Emerald Coast region that the western panhandle of Florida is located on.

Additionally, Fort Morgan is located across Mobile Bay from Dauphin Island.
