Review & FAQ:
Plan a weekend getaway to the beaches of the Gulf Coast which boast unspoiled natural beauty, culture, history, and sunshine. Gulf Shores consists of great accommodations and vacation rentals, spectacular special events throughout the year, and award-winning restaurants. All of this is in addition to the white sandy beach and turquoise waters. You may have the chance to spot a dolphin or two or try some deep-sea fishing in one of the largest artificial fishing reefs in the United States.
Gulf Shores also features plenty of opportunities for watersports, amusement parks, nature trails, and championship golf.
