Beach Bachelor Trip Ideas
Fishing Charters
Want to spend your days on the water? Then consider booking a fishing charter for your crew. Choose from a half-day, full-day, or overnight excursion and bound across the waves in search of the best catch. Our area is home to one of the biggest fishing charter fleets on the Gulf, so you’ll find the perfect one for your party. Fishing is a year-round sport on the Gulf Coast, with desirable species available every season.
Watersports & Outdoor Adventures
If excitement is on your bachelor weekend agenda, you’ll want to check out all the watersports available. Soar above the shore on a parasail, zip through the water on a Jet Ski, or fly over the waves on a foil board. Prefer to stay dry? Explore Gulf State Park with a Segway tour, or check out an aerial view of the beach with Lost Bay Helicopters. No matter what you choose, you’re sure to get your heart pumping.
Beach Days
Or, if you want a more relaxed day of fun, pick up a six-pack from Big Beach Brewing and hang out on our sugar-white sand beaches. Bring your chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and soak up some rays. Whether you want to swim in the Gulf, pay a game of spike ball, or snooze in the sand, you’re bound to enjoy your time on our shores.
Golf Courses
If you’re up for early morning adventures, play a few rounds at one of the beautifully manicured local golf courses and enjoy coastal breezes as you swing. Several of the courses in Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan were designed by some of golf’s greatest players, including Arnold Palmer, Jerry Pate, and Earl Stone. These scenic greens are the perfect places to admire the natural beauty of the Alabama Gulf Coast and even spot wildlife.
Bars & Nightlife
The fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down, as there are also lots of bars and live music spots to keep you entertained on a beach bachelor trip. Dance the night away at Flora-Bama, sip and swing at Tee Off at The Wharf, or listen to tunes at Sound Wave. Whether your gang likes beers, bourbon, or bushwackers, there are plenty of great bars in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
Beach Bachelorette Party Ideas
Cruises
Endless days and nights of fun are found on Alabama’s Beaches for your bachelorette party. Start your trip by floating across the water on a tiki from Cruisin’ Tikis. Driven by a professional captain, your vessel will cruise around the beautiful waterways of Orange Beach and stop wherever you'd like. Drinks are allowed on board, and the captain will play your favorite tunes on the speaker.
Relaxing Outdoor Adventures
If your girlfriends are craving nature and adventure, rent kayaks or paddleboards and experience the serene waters surrounding Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge or bike through 28 miles of paved trails in Gulf State Park. During your explorations, you might even spy some local wildlife, including dolphins, alligators, deer, or bobcats.
Beach Dining
When you get hungry, head to one of the many fabulous restaurants for coastal cocktails and fresh seafood. Make the most of your meal by dining at one of the many outdoor eateries or picture-perfect restaurants, where the atmosphere is as good as the food. For a memorable beach meal, book a picturesque picnic with Beachside Blankets or Southern Charm Picnic Co.
Local Libations
Before the night ends, snag drinks at a local bar. Sip curated cocktails and wine at Gulf Babe, share a bottle of red or white at Isla Wine, or dance the night away at The Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar. From wine and beer to frozen drinks and cocktails, the bars in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores have a drink for everyone.
Bushwacker Tour
End your trip with a curated bushwacker tasting tour from Surfside Shuttle. This four-hour private trip will take your group to four local bars in Orange Beach that serve bushwackers, allowing you to sample delicious variations. It’s the perfect way to cool off and wind down after a day in the sun or on the water. The best part of the tour is that you don't need a designated driver, as the shuttle drives to each location.
Enhance Your Bachelorette Trip
No bachelorette trip is complete without the perfect bridesmaid gift for your girls and a rental decked out with the cutest decor. You can grab balloons, garlands, banners, and more at The Party House. If you already have your decorations, you can ship them to The Party House, and they’ll set up your rental for you! Then, surprise your bridal crew with customized swag bags from The Gulf Shores Store to commemorate the trip with matching shirts, hats, cups, and more.
