DAY 1
Day Two
While the first day was all about staying active and enjoying the sights and sounds of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, the second half of a weekend getaway is about relaxation. Wake up early to enjoy a morning stroll along the 32 miles of pristine, white-sand beaches and admire the gorgeous sunrise, which is equally impressive as the sunset the night before. Trust us when we say, it’s worth the effort to wake up early!
Spend some time relaxing on the beach or by the pool before heading over to the infamous Ruby Slipper Café for a late brunch. If you love traditional southern fare, The Ruby Slipper Cafe will certainly deliver above your expectations. Enjoy the best Eggs Benedict on the beach among many other delicious options.
Following a morning soaking in the sun, why not spend the afternoon learning all about the rich history along this stretch of the Alabama Gulf Coast by heading over to Fort Morgan to enjoy a self-guided tour of this bastion fort in the mouth of Mobile Bay. This Civil War masonry fort dates back more than 150 years and is full of history worth exploring.
Dinner at Luna’s Eat & Drink is perhaps the best way to end your action-packed weekend in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Luna’s eclectic menu offers something for every visitor. Get your fill of Southern comfort food with a twist.
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is the perfect weekend getaway destination for couples. Relaxation, fun in the sun, hands-on experiences and much more create the perfect itinerary for couples to enjoy the very best of Alabama’s Gulf coast.
