Imagine losing yourself along 32 miles of soft white-sand beaches lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico; Gulf Shores offers all this and a whole lot more. Although the beaches are the main draw-card for an increasing number of vacationers, you will find plenty of other activities to keep the whole family happy. You can try your hand at a wide variety of water sports including kayaking, paddle-boarding, jet-skiing and para-sailing, as well as learning how to scuba dive or surf. Back on land you can explore various hiking and biking trails, or re-live history by following the Mobile Bay Civil War Trail to see Fort Morgan, Fort Gaines and much more.
