Fun things to do in Gulf Shores, Alabama

With a mild climate year round, Gulf Shores is a wonderful place to visit to enjoy fishing, water activities, historic sites, golfing and festivals. The area offers a large number of activities. I consider this to be a great beach town.

Kids and adults both will love the Alabama Coastal Zoo which features more then 250 animals, reptiles and birds. Every year there is a Shrimp festival in October that features entertainment, fine arts, arts & crafts and of course, the main event, shrimp! For a little bit of history visit the Bellingrath Gardens which consists of gardens and a mansion located on the Fowl River in nearby Theodore, a suburb of Mobile, Alabama.

If you are a war buff & interested in history & the Civil War or the Revolutionary War, you might want to visit Fort Morgan. This fort is at the mouth of Mobile Bay. Some regard it as “one of the finest examples of military architecture in the New World” The fort was named in honor of Revolutionary War hero Daniel Morgan. The fort is maintained by the Alabama Historical Commission.

Other fun activities include fishing, water sports, hiking, biking and bird watching. Golf at one of the 9 local golf courses which include a 4 star rated course and a course designed by Arnold Palmer.

Dauphin Island – Alabama

Dauphin Island offers great fishing and some of the best bird watching in Alabama. There are several bird sanctuaries and it’s the first stop that many birds make as they migrate to and from South America. Fishing is one of the main activities on this island whether you want to go out on your own or charter a boat.

Camping and swimming go hand-in-hand for the water lovers. For popular activites & information, check out these links…

Historic Fort Gaines is also a great place to visit. It offers daily reenactments and tours of the fort.
