It’s getting colder so it’s the perfect time to head to the beach for some last minute sun bathing and fun. Take your fall break in Gulf Shores! With oyster cookouts and Blue Angels air shows there are lots of great things to do in Gulf Shores. When we visited Gulf Shores this past year we discovered all the fun and great food and kid friendly restaurants in the area.
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach’s 32 miles of sugar-white beaches stretch along a 27,000 acre island on the northernmost coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Sand dunes covered in sea oats and turquoise waters are the norm on the coast while inland areas feature live oaks and pines. Freshwater lakes, rivers, bayous and coves add nearly 400,000 acres of protected water to the area.
Check out the calendar of events happening in the area.
