| Coastal life may be relaxed, but
it’s not sleepy. Chances are you won’t have nearly
enough time to do everything that strikes your fancy. But
you’re welcome to try.
Of course, you can enjoy our magnificent beaches anytime,
but if you’re in the mood for a play, a parade, a plate
of barbecue or just about anything else, Alabama’s
Gulf Coast can satisfy your cravings.
To start your day off with a splash, a visit to Waterville
USA is in order. Ride the waves in the 25,000-square-foot
wave pool and experience the 55-foot drop of the Kamikaze
waterslide. Other exciting activity parks and arcades such
as Adventure
Island and The
Track offer mini-golf, go-carts, carnival rides
and much more.
Perdido
Key Parasail lets you soar above the water on a
parasailing adventure, swim with the fish on a snorkeling
trip or get in gear on a waverunner. The Orange
Beach Charter Fishing Association links you to fishing
adventures and area marinas. Don’t miss out on exciting
dolphin tours and shrimping escapades, which also go out
from area marinas.
If you’re more of a peace-seeker than a thrill-seeker,
you’ll marvel at the sugar-white sands and emerald
waters of the public beach. Hunt for seashells, catch some
rays and let the gentle water tickle your toes.
Perhaps you prefer to experience Mother Nature. The Bon
Secour National Wildlife Refuge offers many amazing
trails for birding and nature viewing, while the Gulf
State Park boasts miles of biking trails and the
glistening Lake Shelby.
History buffs enjoy Fort Morgan, where costumed guides
tell the fort’s tale from the 1500s (when the Spanish
fought there) through the Civil War. A ride on the Mobile
Bay Ferry brings visitors to Fort Gaines where the story
continues. While on Dauphin
Island a visit the Estuarium/Public
Aquarium for a lesson in underwater life.
With so many area golf courses you’ll be able to spend
all day on the green. Check out our golf
page for information on yardage and par or to book
a complete golf vacation.
You may need to extend your stay to take in all that the
Alabama Gulf Coast has to offer. Whatever you want, we’ve
got it!
