 Gulf
Shores Area
 Alabama
Point Orange Beach
There must be something magic about this stretch of Gulf and
the pass leading into the back bays. The water here always
seems to be that glistening turquoise you see in magazines.
This is a spot for serious relaxation. Located just .3 miles
east of Perdido Pass Bridge, Alabama Point offers more than
6,000 feet of wide beach, large sand dunes, and a 225-foot
boardwalk. It's a bit of a walk out across the dune line,
so pack lightly and focus on the simple pleasures. This park
offers some of great views of incoming and outgoing charter
boats... if you can keep your eyes open.
Bon
Secour National Wildlife Refuge Beach Fort Morgan
Want to commune with Mother Nature? Then take a hike down
Pine Beach Trail. Put the top down and enjoy the drive about
ten miles down Highway 180. The trail meanders two miles
through an enchanted forest of palmettos, live oaks and
Spanish moss - past Gator Lake and Little Lagoon - to a
spectacular ridge of dunes and a pristine, all-natural beach.
Along the way, you'll see an astounding variety of birds
and other wildlife. Don't feel like walking? You can park
along Mobile Street for easy beach access without the exercise.
The refuge office is close by if you need park information.

If you're 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. When
you're hungry or thirsty, just drag yourself out of your
chair and up to one of the many beachside restaurants, serving
up great food and entertainment. Beach attendants, three
open-air pavilions and a picnic area are available. You
may want to arrive early to get a prime parking spot.

State Park Gulf Shores
This un-crowded, natural beach is located six miles east
of Highway 59, among the sand dunes and sea oats. There's
lots of room to spread out, making it a great place for
families with lots of gear. Surf fishing is a popular activity
here. Facilities are at a minimum, so be sure to pack everything
you might need. A small parking fee is charged, but there
are plenty of spaces, and lots of room for large vehicles
and RVs.

to the Gulf, 2.9 miles west of Highway 59. You'll find restrooms,
