Fun things to do in Gulf Shores, Alabama

Professor Beach — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:17:57 +0000

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.

Amelia is long and narrow. It is 13 miles (21 km) long (21 km) and approximately 4 miles (6 km) wide at its widest point. Amelia Island is situated just south of Cumberland Island, Georgia, off the east coast of Florida in Nassau County. Fernandina Beach and Amelia City are both located on the island.

It is host to the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, the Amelia Island Jazz Festival, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance and the Bausch & Lomb Tennis Championships.

Amelia Island has several beach resorts. There are many interesting day trips if you feel like moving from the beach or pool. Take a nature walk or boat tour, stroll through a beautifully restored Victorian town, visit a historic fort or ride horses on the beach.

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…
