Check out the 30-60 min Airboat Tours in Mobile Bay. It’s a 55 minute drive, but well worth it. The gators aren’t a big fan of the heat so grab a morning tour.

Savjeti o gradu

Kretanje mjestom

Beach 101

Leave early to get parking and a good spot on the beach. Public beaches have $3 parking. No bottles on the beach. Purple flag on the beach means JELLYFISH! Don’t forget the sunscreen.
Korisne fraze

Be safe and have fun!

As the local saying goes “Come to Gulf Shores on Vacation, Leave on Probation.” Designate a sober driver or get an Uber if drinking.
