Plan Your Sporting Event During Your Holiday Stay on Alabama’s Beaches
All I want this holiday season is a wintery-white Christmas!
Ask and you shall receive here in Alabama! Well, sort of. Trade the snow for the sugary-white beaches of the Gulf Coast. They are nothing short of magical during the holiday season. If you’re a sports planner, arrange a December getaway to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach for some sand, surf, shopping and a scheduled site tour for your upcoming event.
Orange Beach Venues

This area also boasts an aquatic center, tennis center, sand courts and golf center, all located near popular condominiums and restaurants.
If you plan to host an indoor sporting event, the Orange Beach Event Center at the Wharf has plenty of room. Enjoy gymnastics, cheerleading, sports banquets and more in the 18,000-square-foot facility.
