Little Lagoon Pass is a tidal inlet located in Gulf Shores. Alabama. The Pass is the only permanent connection between Little Lagoon and the Gulf of Mexico. The Pass is subject to frequent infilling and blockage as sand is transported into the inlet by daily tidal cycles and occasional storm surges. When the inlet is blocked, water levels rise in the Lagoon causing flooding problem. Lagoon water quality may also be mpaired due to loss of tidal flushing action. Dredging is requried on a regular basis to maintain the Pass and is performed for extended periods about six time per year.
