Top Activities During Your Spring Break Getaway to the Alabama Gulf Coast
Coaches, athletes and fans will find that the Alabama Gulf Coast features an abundance of family-friendly activities for after the game.
Your downtime during your Gulf Shores and Orange Beach trip will definitely not be boring when you choose any of the activities available in this beautiful area.
1. Golf. Are you an enthusiast of this strategic game? Pack your clubs when you head down for a sporting event, because you’re sure to have a swinging good time from the moment you step onto the greens until the last putt of the day. The signature courses offer challenging golf to players of every level. With designers such as Arnold Palmer, Earl Stone and Jerry Pate, you know you’ll be playing a unique, yet fun round of golf. Not into swinging the club? You’ll also find related games here, including disc golf and foot golf.
2. Fishing. Anglers who want to hit the high seas with a rod and reel should bring your fishing gear with you to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Offshore and inshore vessels are available for charter during your stay, with captains who are knowledgeable about the best place to drop a line. If you’d rather stay on dry land, The Gulf State Park pier offers 2,448 feet of fishing space along its rails.
3. Water sports. If fishing isn’t your thing, plenty of other opportunities to get out on the water are found in both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Water sports fanatics will be able to stay active by making a splash with kayaking, jetskiing, parasailing, paddleboarding and (seasonally) flyboarding. Catch a wave of excitement when you try one or all of these thrilling activities.
4. Eating. Can you say yummy? You will certainly be doing just that when you try the mouthwatering cuisine prepared by chefs at numerous dining establishments along the beaches of Alabama. Be sure to pack your appetite, because the fresh seafood from the Gulf of Mexico truly is second to none. If you’re not into seafood, you’ll also be able to chow down on food that isn’t found under the sea.
5. Beach. This one will sound like a no-brainer to those who are beach lovers. We are truly proud of the sugary white sand and the brilliant blue water here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Whether you take a stroll along the waves, build a castle, or simply bask in the sun, it’s certain this idyllic place will be perfect for unwinding after the sporting event of the day.
