Some of the countries finest beaches including but not limited to Pensacola, Navarre, and Destin are 3 or so hours from Montgomery for easy weekend trips to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.The City of Montgomery is the Capital of Alabama with a robust economic environment that has produced multiple awards of excellence at the Chamber of Commerce level.
