Thanksgiving Getaway in Gulf Shores Orange Beach

It's Not Too Late to Plan a Beach Thanksgiving

It's time to talk turkey; Turkey Day to be exact.

May 7, 2021
Thanksgiving on Alabama's Beaches

If a hassle-free Thanksgiving sounds like the recipe for a relaxed holiday, pack your bags and get beach bound for Alabama's white-sand beaches. Whether you're considering a intimate getaway for close friends with dinner out or plan to share a beach house and roast your turkey with extended family, there are great deals available on beach vacation rentals. Browse the Hot Deals to find the accommodations that fit your group this Thanksgiving.

Hang up your apron and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast, beach style, at one of the many Gulf Shores or Orange Beach restaurants open this holiday. From turkey dinners with all the fixings to prime rib and oyster dressing, tempt your taste buds and then work off that pumpkin pie with a game of sand football on the beach.

Black Friday Shopping in Gulf Shores Orange Beach

After the big day, Black Friday shoppers will not be disappointed in the selection of name-brand retailers and specialty shops boasting great deals on gifts. However, if shopping isn't your idea of a restful beach Thanksgiving, there are plenty of other activities, from charter fishing and golfing to simply reading a book on your balcony.

Pack your bags and get back to the beach this Thanksgiving!
