Billy goat hole is the area near where the Mobile Bay Ferry makes its landing and where the public can launch their boats.

Directions:
Billy goat hole is located east of the 3 way stop after crossing the bridge on the island. Travel east on Bienville until you see the boat docks on your left. This is past the Sea Lab and across from Fort Gaines.

Billy Goat Hole Birding:
The piers and jetties here are excellent for herons, egrets, gulls, and small shorebirds.
