Head Back to the Beach before Back to School

The countdown to the last days of summer is quickly approaching. Before you get into back-to-school mode, squeeze one last beach vacation in. The hot deals are even hotter this time of year and the sun and surf are still shining and splashing.

Gulf

Shores Orange Beach provides the perfect backdrop to relax and rejuvenate to prepare for the busy school year ahead. Enjoy a variety of activities with the kids. You can putt away with miniature golf at Adventure Island, have an animal encounter at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo or beat the heat with a wet and wild adventure at Waterville. Enjoy adrenaline-pumping activities at The Track in Gulf Shores, including the Skycoaster, a free fall from up to 110 feet at speeds up to 70 miles per hour.

Complete your back-to-school shopping at one of the Alabama Gulf Coast's shopping plazas. SanRoc Cay offers an upscale, boutique shopping experience with some delectable dining options. The Wharf in Orange Beach has something for all ages.
