Coastal Alabama shares a deep connection with our military community. From active Coast Guard crews on the water to the thousands of veterans who call Mobile and Baldwin counties home, service members are a foundational part of life across the bay.

To honor that service, dozens of local attractions, neighborhood favorites and major retailers across the bay offer year-round discounts and perks. To make things easy, Mobile Bay Now has rounded up more than 50 military discounts available right now in the Mobile Bay area.

Three quick tips before you head out:

  • Bring your ID: Keep a valid military or veteran ID handy at checkout.
  • Just ask: Many local shops offer unlisted discounts if you inquire at the register.
  • Check the terms: Some deals apply only to active-duty, while others include veterans and dependents.
