It’s no surprise that many bring their boats to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach for one purpose: to fish. Nominated as one of the World Fishing Networks' Ultimate Fishing Towns in America, Orange Beach (and its companion Gulf Shores) attract anglers from around the country. That’s because the fish are plentiful and we make a fishing excursion on the Gulf easy.

Bring your boat, rent a boat or charter a fishing excursion. It’s your choice. Then, spend the day with friends or family cruising the coastline for red drum, tuna or flounder. Motor out to deep water in search of giant grouper or fish the bayous and backwaters for blacktail. Whatever your fishing preference, our friendly people will give you pointers and let you in on the best spots to hook your favorite fish. They'll also be happy to let you know the best way to get there by boat. After all, fishing and boating go together. Be sure to sign up for Coastal Catch to stay up-to-date on all things fishing on Alabama's Beaches.
