The HeART of Coastal Alabama
|
There’s something about beach culture that is particularly attractive to creative types. And the coastal communities of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, long considered a haven for artists, are full of galleries and studios offering original works of art for study and for sale.
So don’t miss the Orange Beach Festival of Art March 13-14, a fine arts celebration featuring watercolors, pottery, paintings, sculpture, wood craft, jewelry, glass, and textile art by local, regional, and national artists.
New this year is a performing arts stage featuring dance and drama vignettes, as well as a literary authors’ tent. The musical stage will lift your spirits through local and regional singers and songwriters, and the children’s art alley will charm little guests with special hands-on projects. A must-do for those visiting the coast, visit our site and plan your trip today.

Exploring with an Eco-Eye
|
Maybe you’re a veteran coastal Alabama traveler, or maybe it’s your first visit to our shores. Either way, exploring with an eco-eye helps you see our island in a whole new way.
Alabama’s coast is naturally beautiful, with wildlife habitats and ecosystems existing alongside our beaches. Take to the trails and enjoy free eco-tours held throughout the spring at Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge and the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail. Bird lovers will flock to the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail, while others can bicycle through Gulf State Park. Check out the Nature & Trails page for more ideas.
After appreciating nature’s gifts, why not gift yourself right back through the foods you eat? A few of our area restaurants thrive on locally and sustainably-sourced seafood, and support farmers who harvest organically-grown produce and responsibly-produced dairy products and meats. You can tour the farms that supply these local provisions, and learn about our sustainable fishing practices on a charter fishing trip.
Come help preserve the natural wonders that make our beach towns unique!

Get Out There and Golf
|
The winter thaw is on. Get your blood pumping again with an Alabama Gulf Coast golf vacation that’s a “whole in one” for everyone on your trip. Because each group is different – the annual guys’ event, family trip, or weekend getaway – the folks at The Gulf Shores Golf Association are pros at customizing a unique escape. Visit our Golf Packages for Groups page for customized trip options. Accommodations and packages are ideal for parties of all sizes – with multi-bed beach houses, hotels and condominiums the best way to keep lodging costs in check so you can splurge on a few extra rounds.
With 10 first-rate courses designed by some of the biggest names in the game, the island features challenging tracks and well-maintained courses on surprisingly varied terrain. Enjoy a different golf experience each day and compete among dunes, marshland and along the shoreline. It’s heaven for all players – from those just knocking the ball around between shopping trips to the hard-core scratch golfer playing two rounds daily.
