Celebrate Christmas on Alabama’s Gulf Coast
All will be merry and bright with a white sand holiday in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
If you're dreaming of a white Christmas but want to opt-out of the snow and freezing temperatures, we've got just the thing for you. Join us on our 32 miles of beautiful beaches for a holiday getaway on the coast. We have plenty of white, fluffy stuff, except ours is warm sand rather than cold snow! Have you ever built a sandman? This is the year to do it

The weather on our beaches during December is ideal for exploring the area's natural wonders. Pleasant temperatures and sunny skies create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor adventures like biking, fishing, golfing, and kayaking. You can take a stroll on our pristine beaches without ever breaking a sweat!
Winter rates on beach vacation rentals make a weekend getaway the perfect pre-Christmas gift. It's also a great time to test drive that condo or beach house you've been eyeing for your summer vacation without the peak season price tag.
The holidays on Alabama beaches include non-stop fun all winter long. While you're here, we have the perfect festivities to make your holidays merry and bright. From ice skating at The Wharf to tree lightings and plenty of Santa sightings, there are many great December activities and events for the young and young at heart. Be sure to check out our guide to a Coastal Christmas to see all the holiday happenings this season!
If you’re searching for a non-traditional and fun-filled Christmas vacation, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are the perfect destinations for you! We celebrate the holidays a little differently on the coast, so leave your winter coats and boots at home and pack your flip-flops and sunglasses for a comfortable holiday on the beach. Whether you want to do some holiday shopping or enjoy downtime before Santa stops on December 25, join us on the Alabama Gulf Coast for an unforgettable Christmas vacation, beach style.
