I’ve made several comments here, because I love Gulf Shores/OB! I’m an Alabama native who only started enjoying the gulf when we moved to Daphne many years ago. Growing up in northeast Alabama, I lived too far from the beach and was too poor to go. I loved my 7 years in Daphne! We went to the beach as often as we could. I don’t think many Alabamians know what such a treasure they have in our beaches. They are the gems of the state! People from all over come to visit our beautiful white sand. I have lived in Texas the last 20 years. The beach’s here are awful! Brown sand!🤮! So, we make the effort to get back to Alabama beaches every chance we can. This girl here has produced a very informative video about going to the gulf beaches. Take heed to her advice and enjoy!🏖️🎡🌊🌞

As a New Englander and have visited the Gulf of Mexico from Cedar Key, Fla up to Gulf Shores camping with a travel trailer and Love every place I camped and the people I met. The seafood and southern food was awesome and just need to get back down there.

I took my kids the last week of June. It was the first time we had seen the ocean. We arrived in gulf shores around 6am and went right to the beach. There wasn't really anyone there that early which made our first time getting in the ocean really nice. The whole trip was awesome, especially since it was just the kids and I. It was very family friendly while we were there other than the heat during the day. Oh, and we got got stung by jellyfish. It was a blast!

August has always been just right for me. Kids are starting school and most have used up their vacation time. A lot are still there, but it's so much better than june and july.

Hi Bella - what about coming mid-March for spring break? Is water too cold to enjoy?
-
Fort Morgan in Alabama in August 10th to 20th is so great
-
I commented on another commenter comment that using meat tenderizer on a jellyfish sting will lessen the pain tremendously. Been there done that.

Just remember that the further West you go towards to the Bay, the darker the water will usually get. Fort Morgan and Dauphin Island are really cool with a lot less people than OB or Gulf Shores, but the water isn't usually as clear. Also a lot less to do in terms of non water activities and restaurant choices unless you make a pretty good drive or take a ferry. OB is where we always end up going back to, but it is getting so busy down there compared to what it used to be!! And if you are worried about jelly fish, be prepared to encounter a few, or many. They are very common in the summer, depending on the time and a few other variables. It's not the moon jelly (clear) you need to worry about, but the sea nettle (clear w/brown stripes) that'll get you!!

Very informative!! I had a cousin drown at the age of nine in Gulf Shores. Observe all children. If one comes up missing, tell a lifeguard!

We’re going at the very end of august , do you think the weather / crowd will be bad. We usually always go in may or so but I’m hoping it won’t be too bad

Were you able to maintain your weight loss on your vacation? Are you still doing Ozempic?

Orange Beach is not that crowded year round.....

Dolphin watching is totally a big GO, it’s so much fun and it will get a bit crowded
