Musical Performances Just for You
Gulf Shores is known and celebrated for its oldies and contemporary musical performances. There's a show almost every day at one of your favorite hot spots.

Gather your fellow snowbirds and explore coastal Alabama's rich artistic scene. Check out local bars rich with flavorful cocktails or reach for some of America's freshest seafood while you enjoy the musical stylings of country, rock, pop, and oldies artists as they play some of your favorite tunes and plenty of new ones.

Miles of White Sand Beaches
The crystalline beaches of Gulf Shores stretch for miles on miles. Share the beach with your friends, your loved one, or spend some time in the quiet of solitude with only the waves to keep you company.

Enjoy long beachside walks, ornate seashell hunting, and some of the nation's most unforgettable sunsets as your toes sink into the soft, white, glistening sand with every step.

Volunteering Opportunities

Schools, churches, civic organizations, and nature preservation societies are all on a constant lookout for selfless individuals just like you to lend a hand to the local area in the winter months. Put a smile on someone's face (and one on yours, too) when you give back to the Gulf Coast community that loves snowbirds like you.

On-the-Sea Getaways
Take to the seas to experience the majesty of the Gulf of Mexico.

Charter fishing trips or just experience the scent of the open water and the briskness of the crisp air as your boat gently sways in the Gulf's arms.
