There are hundreds of reasons we could tell you about why we love Alabama’s beaches, but don’t take it from us. Take it from our past visitors. We recently asked them on Facebook why they love vacationing in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, and this is what they had to say:
“I love the feeling in my heart when I am there. I have never been somewhere where I have felt more at peace while I am there and been so sad to leave! I cry every time we leave. The locals are so kind, the food is wonderful and the beaches just cleanse the soul.” –Amy C.
“My paradise. I fell in love with Gulf Shores in 2006, and it will be my love till the end of time.” –Linda W.
“We come down twice a year to the Gulf State Park and RV for a week. We love the park. We always have a good time! It’s a beautiful place. We enjoy the pier and the beach also!” –Kay P.
“The sound of the waves crashing in on the beach…nothing more soothing to the soul.” –Lori M.
“The peaceful feel of the beach and warmth of its residents, but my favorite would have to be the small, southern, country hometown feel you get!” –Jennifer W.

“I LOVE Gulf Shores because it’s where my grandparents vacationed beginning around 1939, and where my parents took me and my siblings beginning around 1971. Now, my children are continuing the tradition. We just can’t vacation anywhere else! It’s like home to us.” –Shelly M.
“Well, I have been going to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach since I was 16. I am 62. It’s a safe, quiet place to take a weekend or a week. The people are nice, the food is great and the beaches are clean. It’s great year round. Come and enjoy with us.” –Steve W.
“What’s not to love? Warm temperatures, powdered sugar beaches, turquoise water and the best shrimp you’ll ever taste! Top it off with some of the friendliest people in the world. It’s a little bit of Heaven for this Missouri girl!” –Donna G
