Gulf Shores Beach

Mother's Day Beach Getaway

Gulf Shores & Orange Beach 

March 20, 2023

There are so many ways to pamper Mom at the beach. Bring the whole gang and enjoy family time celebrating her, or plan a trip for Mom and one of her best girlfriends. No matter what you choose to do for her, she’ll experience a Mother’s Day to remember on Alabama’s beautiful beaches!

Perfect Pace of Play Orange Beach Vacation Rental

Family Trip for Mother’s Day

Show Mom how much she is loved by planning a beach trip, then watch her face glow as she packs for a vacation to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. (Just be sure you’ve handled all her responsibilities, so she has nothing to worry about.) You can browse our vacation rentals in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach to find the property that best meets the needs of your traveling posse. 

Take away the stress of meal planning and have your groceries delivered courtesy of The Beach Moms or pick up premade meals from The Pantry. Proactively pamper Mom by renting beach chairs and umbrellas in advance to make beachin’ easy. And, of course, make sure to include lots of beach time in the trip.

Sail Wild Hearts Sunset Cruise

Mother’s Day isn’t complete without enjoying a special meal with the family. You can never go wrong with brunch, and our beaches are home to several fantastic brunch spots. If you want to treat her to a memorable Mother’s Day dinner, opt for one of the fine dining restaurants in the area. Be sure to treat her to something sweet with a box of chocolates from the Chocolate Corner or truffles from Kayden’s Candy Factory.

There’s no better way to say “I love you” than taking her on a cruise along the coastal waters. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer various options, including sunset and dolphin cruises.

Mom loves it when the whole family gets together for an outing. Book a pottery class at The Clay Studio or go paddleboarding in the back bays. If she’s a country music fan, get tickets to see Hank Williams Jr. at The Wharf Amphitheater on May 13, the Saturday before Mother’s Day. Whether she likes outdoor adventures or creative endeavors, the perfect activity is on Alabama’s beaches.

Hog Wild BBQ

Send Mom on a Girl’s Trip for Mother’s Day 

Treat Mom to a memorable Mother’s Day by planning a girls’ getaway trip for her and a friend. Book a luxury beachside hotel, ensuring they have a couple of reserved beach chairs and umbrellas with the package. 

A great way to pamper her is with a spa day. You’ll need to make reservations in advance, as Mother’s Day weekend is popular for spa treatments, and be sure to ask about Mother’s Day specials.

Mom will enjoy relaxing while sampling a wide variety of wines at  Red or White at The Wharf in Orange Beach. Pair with a corresponding charcuterie board, or choose from other options like a roasted chicken board, a bruschetta board, pizza, and more! It’s a unique experience that Mom will forever remember. We suggest purchasing a gift certificate before the trip, so the logistics are taken care of.

Flora-Bama Bushwacker

Another fun choice for Mom is making her own natural bath or shower products at High Cotton Bath Company at The Wharf. She’ll have a blast creating a custom lotion or bath scrub, as well as a fun souvenir to take home. Then let her get out and explore with a Segway tour through the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail. The knowledgeable guides will lead her through Gulf State Park and share details about the area. It’s a fun and unique experience and a great way to see the natural beauty of Alabama’s coastal community. 

Finally, book her and her friend a ride on Surfside Shuttle’s Bushwacker Tour. This shuttle will take them to four local spots that serve bushwackers, so they can relax and enjoy sipping on their creamy drinks while getting a tour of the area.

Shopping at San Roc Cay Orange Beach

What to Send with Mom

Whether it’s a family getaway or a trip with her best friend, give Mom a unique beach bag filled with niceties that will make her trip a breeze. Include a beach towel, a book, sunscreen, a few indulgent snacks, gift cards for restaurants, plus an itinerary for her time in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach on Mother’s Day weekend.

Planning is key and can make this Mother’s Day one for the books, filled with pampering moments for Mom and those she holds dear!

Browse spring lodging deals and book your Mother’s Day weekend on the Alabama Gulf Coast!
