Check Today’s Water-Quality Information

Gulf Shores works with Alabama’s environmental and public-health agencies to monitor bacteria at Gulf Shores Public Beach, Gulf State Park Pavilion Beach, and Little Lagoon Pass. Check current results before your visit; a historic award does not establish today’s conditions.

Plan Your Beach Visit

Review posted water-quality notices and surf warning flags, and follow instructions at the access point. Water appearance and webcam views cannot establish safe swimming conditions.

Choose your beach access and parking arrangements before setting out. Our public beach parking guide can help you plan the outing, while your rental listing explains the beach access available at your property.
