Fun things to do in Gulf Shores, Alabama
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008With 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.
