Party At The Famous Flora-Bama
If you’re looking for some fun nightlife, you’ve got to head over to the famous Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar. Located on the Alabama-Florida line, this iconic beachfront bar and restaurant is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. They have live music on multiple stages 365 days a year, craft cocktails and mouth watering bar fare – perfect for late-night snacking. You and your girls can jive your cares away on the dance floor or reminisce about the old days over drinks. Just make sure to try their signature Bushwhacker before you go. Because who doesn’t love rum and ice cream?

Shop Til’ You Drop
Retail therapy? Coming right up! What girls getaway is complete without a shopping trip? Find unique items at boutiques or hop over to one of several shopping districts for convenient all-in-one trips. Check out The Wharf, Pelican Place, SanRoc Cay and even Tanger Outlet Center in nearby Foley. No matter what you’re looking for, you’re sure to find what you need while shopping the day away with your girlfriends. (We’re sure you’ll also find things you don’t need, but go ahead and indulge. We promise not to tell.) Don’t forget to refuel with lunch and cocktails, too.
Beachin’ with the Besties
Of course, you can’t forget to schedule plenty of beach and balcony time. Nothing beats toasting old friendships and new ones over the sound of waves and a great glass of wine. Say “cheers,” tell stories and laugh till it hurts. Sink your toes in the sand and bring a cooler along with you. Pack it with chilled fruit, cheese and maybe even some wine singles! (Leave the glass bottles at home, though.)
Gather your best girlfriends and browse the fall specials for lodging and attractions. Treat yourself!
