Gulf Shores

Families can enjoy a variety of activities, including spending time at the beach, visiting Waterville USA water park and amusement park, exploring the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, and playing mini-golf. The city also hosts family-friendly events throughout the year, such as the National Shrimp Festival and the Hangout Music Festival.

Gulf Shores offers a diverse culinary scene, with options ranging from casual seafood shacks to upscale restaurants. Fresh seafood is a highlight, with many restaurants serving locally caught shrimp, fish, and oysters. There are also options for those craving other cuisines, including Italian, Mexican, and American fare. Many restaurants offer outdoor seating with beautiful views of the Gulf.

The best time to visit Gulf Shores is during the spring (March-May) and fall (September-October) months. The weather is pleasant, with warm temperatures and less humidity than the summer months. The crowds are also smaller during these times, making it easier to enjoy the beaches and attractions. Summer (June-August) is peak season, with hot weather and larger crowds, while winter (November-February) offers mild temperatures and fewer tourists.
