| The Best Things Never Change |
|
 Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer
everything you’re looking for in a summer vacation.
Remember piling into the car with Mom and Dad and heading
off the beach? If you’re looking for a place that’s relaxed and carefree
- with the timeless appeal of pure, simple fun in the sun - where families come
together for the best of times - you can count on Alabama’s beautiful Gulf
Coast to deliver. Our 32 miles of white-sand beaches and turquoise water are just
as breathtaking as ever. And we offer everything from golf and fishing to hiking, biking, fresh-off-the-boat seafood, shopping and a variety of outstanding accommodations.
So don’t let someone else book that special
condo,
beach house or hotel before you do. Visit our accommodations page, with easy online booking, to make your reservations today.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for a whole
new set of vacation memories. |

Sea Creatures Invade the
Alabama Gulf Coast! |
|
 Creatures
from the deep have been spotted dragging themselves on to our beaches late at night.
Don’t worry. It’s not the Creature
from the Black Lagoon. It’s nesting season for sea turtles! The Alabama
Gulf Coast is lucky enough to be a nesting habitat for several types of endangered
sea turtles. Female turtles make their way onto our beaches each year between
the months of May and October to lay their eggs. After about 60 days the eggs
will hatch, and the hatchlings begin a perilous journey back to the sea. They
will eventually return to the beach where they were hatched to lay their own eggs.
When you visit, you may see nesting sites that
are marked and roped off for protection. Feel free to take a look, but please
don’t disturb the site. All six species of sea turtles found in U.S. waters
are threatened or endangered.
Read on to learn about how you can help make our beaches a safe haven for our
flippered friends and watch video of turtle hatchlings making their way to the sea. |

More than Just the Beach |
|
 Worried about
getting bored with the beach? Shake off the sand, throw on a pair of flip-flops
and head out to enjoy some cool coastal activities.
Cool off with the kids on a lightning-fast ride down a giant water slide. Putter around a bit on one of our championship golf courses. Cast your
line on a deep-sea adventure, dreaming
of the one that won’t get away. Travel back in time with a visit to Fort Morgan or one of our local museums. Paddle a kayak silently through a salt marsh under the watchful eyes of herons and gators.
Or shop ‘til you drop at outlet stores, antique shops or one-of-kind boutiques.
And don’t worry if you wear yourself out.
You can always recover tomorrow with a siesta on a beach blanket. |
