Vacation In Gulf Shores for a Near and Dear Experience

Thirty-two miles of sugar white beaches make Gulf Shores/Orange Beach the perfect vacation destination for those who choose to relax and those who want to be active. Whether it is reading in the shade of an umbrella-sheltered beach chair, listening to the soothing music of the surf, reeling in fish, playing a round of golf or exploring the rich history and protected wildlife habitats, Alabama's coast has it!

Enjoy public beach areas with amenities that include a boardwalk, picnic areas, bathhouses and pavilions for a respite from the sun. Visit Fort Morgan, a site of defense in the War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II. For a relaxing nature walk, the 6,200-acre Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge offers more than two miles of beach front accessible by nature trails and provides a protected habitat for the region's wildlife.

There are plenty of options for those who like activity, too. Fishing is awesome, both from the shore or on a full- or half-day charter trip. Beach rental companies offer a full range of personal watercraft. Popular adventure activities include charter sails, sunset and dolphin cruises, dining cruises, parasail rides and diving expeditions.

For off the beach activities, teeing off at one of the many championship golf courses is an exciting outing for the duffer and pro alike. Bicycle and moped rentals are popular ways to see the sights of the island.

The ultimate in family fun can be experienced in the water park, at the zoo, playing miniature golf, bungee jumping, or at go-cart tracks and arcades.

Birding is a hobby that is rapidly growing on the Alabama Gulf Coast. With the coast being located in the Mississippi Flyway, a major route for migratory birds, there are public areas that make excellent observation points. The combination of access to birding sites and the amenities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach make the area a prime destination for birders. The spring and fall bird migrations and the birdbanding at Fort Morgan are a nature lover’s delight. The fall migration of the Monarch butterflies is an added bonus.

A variety of shopping gives the option of browsing through quaint little gift and antique shops, clothing boutiques and souvenir emporiums. Local craftsmen also offer their original works of art, jewelry and pottery. Enjoying the bountiful and succulent seafood fresh from the Gulf, plentiful buffets with something for everyone and great ethnic and regional specialties in one of our many affordable restaurants is primary to Alabama Gulf Coast vacationers.

Whatever the interests, whatever the mood, vacationers find the variety of Gulf Shores/Orange Beach fulfills their vacation dreams. Couple all this with a tradition of Southern hospitality for which the area is known, and the result is a wonderful vacation experience.
