Gulf Shores, Alabama

A variety of local restaurants, fun-filled activities, incredible lodging options and 32-miles of pristine beaches are just a few reasons why the Alabama Gulf Coast is the ultimate beach destination. Warm temps and fresh seafood are what make the Alabama Gulf Coast the perfect beach destination for a Trop Rock music festival!

Gulf Place – Gulf Shores Main Public Beach

If you are looking for volleyball-playing, beach-bar-hanging good times, this spot – where Highway 59 dead-ends into the Gulf – is for you. For a small fee, you get all-day, up-close parking, making it easy to unload your gear. Restrooms and beach rinse showers on site. Life Guards, open-air pavilions and a large grassy “Town Green” is available.

Kayaking and Water Sports

Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are the perfect beach getaways filled with fun and unique beach and water activities! Some paddlers love the challenge of kayaking in open water, others prefer the quiet of inland waterways. You can have it both ways with Orange Beach and Gulf Shores kayaking, with launches from the Bon Secour River and along the back bays of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores’ Little Lagoon.

Amusements & Entertainment

Looking for something to do once you exit the amazing white-sand beaches? Miniature golf, dolphin cruises, bowling, ferry trips and horseback riding are just some of the fun to be had. With arcades, a zoo, a water park, amusement parks and more you’ll find enjoyable activities.
