About ZIP 36574
ZIP code 36574 spans a rural, water-oriented stretch of Baldwin County, Alabama, anchored by Lillian, Perdido Beach, and Elberta. This area hugs Perdido Bay and Wolf Bay, with Lillian known for its bridge and bayfront homes, Perdido Beach for quiet waterfront neighborhoods along the Alabama-Florida line, and Elberta for its small-town center and farming roots.
