Gulf Shores  and Orange Beach in Alabama

Visit the Alabama Gulf Coast and the 32 miles of white sandy beaches for a perfect getaway or addition to your fly-drive tour.

Sugar-white beaches, fresh seafood, championship golf courses, charter fishing trips, wildlife areas, theme parks and playgrounds, and historic Fort Morgan the site of the Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay are just a few of the things Gulf Shores has in store for visitors.

Take a nature tour on a boat and go exploring. Dolphins are often sighted here.  Cast your line for deep-sea adventure on a charter fishing trip from Dauphin Island where bird watchers flock. Across the bay is the village of Fairhope, named one of the top ten romantic escapes in America.

All along Alabama’s southern coast, fresh seafood and celebrations abound. Jimmy Buffett’s sister, Lucy, owns and operates Lu Lu’s in Gulf Shores. This restaurant on the coastal waterway offers live music and a ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise’. Also don’t miss Florabama, the Pink Pony and the Hangout who all offer great food and live music in beachfront locations.

The Wharf at Orange Beach features premier stores and restaurants that line Main Street, Wharf Parkway, and The Boardwalk at The Marina. Enjoy a gourmet meal at one of the many cafes or restaurants overlooking the water, take in a movie at Rave Motion Pictures, or listen to a live band!

In October the world-renowned Annual National Shrimp Festival is held at Gulf Shores and fabulous seafood, arts and crafts, and music make this the event of the season. The month-long October Fishing Rodeo offers fun and great prizes. In November, local songwriters croon their hearts out at the Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival.
