Every winter a special group of people grace Alabama's Gulf Coast, these people are affectionately referred to as "Snowbirds." The laid back, do-nothing lifestyle known as retirement finds its way to the back burner as our Snowbirds struggle to find time to do nothing. State club meetings, fishing, volunteering, Golf tournaments, shopping, breakfasts, day trips and sometimes part time employment replace catnaps.

Of course, lazy days still have their appeal. It's up to you.

The winter months offer all types of entertainment from symphonies to theatre, Jazz to Dixieland, you name it. Festivals, parades and art exhibits are aplenty. The Calendar of Events will help you decide how to spend your time while visiting Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
