Beach Overview
Boasting sparkling white sand, emerald-green water, and more
recreational adventures than you ever imagined, Gulf Shores is a
veritable wonderland of utter relaxation and family entertainment.
Most of Gulf Shores’ appeal rests directly on the fine sand beaches, and
it is easy to see why since they are comprised of 95 percent quartz and
one hundred percent breathtaking beauty. The white sands almost appear
too white as they slide gently into the green water and invite you to
throw down a towel for an afternoon under the warm summer sun. While it
is easy enough to lose track of time simply soaking in the scenery and
the unbelievable quality of the beach, Gulf Shores requires that you
take advantage of all the excitement it has to offer.
A memorable day in the sand can always be found at Gulf Shores Public
Beach, where you can join in a rowdy volleyball game, hang out at the
beach bar, grab a quick bite to eat at a seaside restaurant, or
people-watch in the shade under a picnic pavilion. Although these are
exceptional beach facilities that you should certainly exploit, they are
merely side notes to the activities in and around the water. The gentle
surf means swimming is great for adults and children alike, while taking
a leisurely stroll, sand-castle building, and fishing in the Gulf are
other possibilities for your day at the beach.
Although Gulf Shores does not draw visitors en masse like the nearby
beaches on Florida’s Panhandle, you will still find some crowds at Gulf
Shores Public Beach when the sun is shining and the weather is warm.
However, one way to make Gulf Shores more of a personal hideaway is to
head to the uncrouded sands of Gulf State Park. More than just a place
to swim and soak up some sun rays on its 2.5 miles of beaches, visitors
can also enjoy scheduled beach walks, hiking trails, and nature films to
learn more about the ecosystem of Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
While there is no better place in Gulf Shores to kick back and enjoy a
lively, upbeat atmosphere than on the beaches, the great outdoors have
plenty more to offer for a truly memorable getaway. Throughout the
community, there are paved and unpaved trails where bicyclists,
rollerbladers, hikers, and runners can enjoy breathtaking views and
experience the cultural, historical, and environmental significance of
this waterfront wonder. |
