Our Beaches: Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

The miles of sugar sand coastline that make up the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area are the gem of the region. These Alabama beaches are some of the finest on the Gulf of Mexico, known for their soft sands, gentle family friendly waves and warm waters.

Down here, we have a beach for every taste. Want something quieter? Enjoy the peacefulness of West Beach, one of our Gulf Shores beaches. Want to be at the heart of the action?

They're especially great for giving the littlest ones a happy memory of the beach and a taste of ocean living that will make them excited for vacations for years to come. You'll also learn here of how, perhaps contrary to some lingering belief, how clean our waters are.
