March 11, 2022

It’s summertime, and the livin’ is easy here on Alabama’s beaches! The warm weather and cool breeze make it the ideal time to venture down to the coast. However, the beautiful beaches aren’t the only reason to visit during the summer. The month of June is packed with noteworthy events and exciting activities the whole family will enjoy. Check out all the things to do in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach in June.

Boating in Orange Beach

Hit the Water

Grab your bathing suit and head to the beach because the weather in June is perfect for hitting the water. You have your choice of a variety of aquatic adventures to explore and play in the turquoise waters of the Gulf. Dive deep, make waves or paddle away as you choose from jet skiing, diving, kayaking, sailing and more adventurous watersports. Our local outfitters will provide you with all the equipment and know-how you need for an unforgettable day on the water.

Putt, Drive & Swing

The Alabama Gulf Coast is the ultimate place to swing your clubs and hit a few rounds of golf. You’ll enjoy the coastal breeze and beautiful scenery of the area while you play. After you’re finished, you can grab a drink and a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants located on the courses. With 15 incredible courses in and around Alabama’s beaches, you have your choice of where to play a round or two while you’re on vacation.

Flora-Bama Fishing Rodeo

Reel Them in at Flora-Bama Fishing Rodeo

Known as the ‘funnest’ fishing tournament on the Gulf Coast, Flora-Bama’s Annual Fishing Rodeo is a blast for everyone who participates. Categories range from Catfish to Bill Fish, including a Spearfishing category and everything in-between, and all ages are invited to join in on the fun. The tournament features 40 categories with first, second and third place prizes awarded in each one. Advanced and novice fishers alike will want to sign up for this weekend tournament from June 10-12.

Get Up Close with Dolphins

There’s nothing like taking a pleasant cruise exploring the mesmerizing waters of Alabama’s beaches, especially if you see dolphins popping out to say hello. A dolphin tour is an incredibly exciting way to explore the area and learn about these friendly creatures who live along the Gulf Coast. Orange Beach and Gulf Shores offer multiple tours on a variety of vessels in the Gulf and backways. These entertaining cruises are a unique and unforgettable experience that those of all ages will enjoy.

Waterville USA

Slip, Slide and Splash at Waterville USA

Grab your bathing suit and get ready to make a big splash at Waterville USA in Gulf Shores. This 20-acre waterpark has something for everyone from thrilling waterslides, a lazy river, a wave pool, a children’s water playground and much more. In addition to the waterpark, Waterville also has an amusement park with go-karts, mini-golf, an escape room, an arcade and lots more entertaining activities. A day here is the perfect way to beat the heat and find family fun.

Embark on a Deep-Sea Fishing Excursion

Fishing on the Alabama Gulf Coast is unmatched and going on a charter boat is the ultimate way to reel in some impressive catches. When you book a charter, you can choose from inshore or offshore fishing and a day trip or overnight excursion, depending on what species you’re looking to catch. Charter boats provide you with rods, reels, bait and the knowledge you need to hook a catch, so all you have to do is get ready for an amazing fishing experience.

Sand Castle University

Graduate from Sandcastle University

You’re never too old to build sandcastles on the beach, and with Sand Castle University, you can learn how to create masterpieces in the sand. Their unique classes teach participants of all ages and skill levels sandcastle building techniques and provide all the equipment needed to create sturdy structures. It’s a great group activity and a one-of-a-kind experience, so get ready to dig your toes and hands in the sand.

Explore Historic Fort Morgan

Whether you’re a history buff or looking for a little adventure, Historic Fort Morgan is an excellent spot to travel back in time and learn about Alabama’s rich history. Built in the early 1800s, this third system masonry fort offers guests a glance into its use during multiple battles and wars since its conception. Visitors can explore the barracks, tunnels, batteries and other significant features of this iconic site. Kids and adults alike enjoy exploring the fort and its surrounding area.

The Wharf Ampitheater

Rock Out at The Wharf

The Amphitheatre at The Wharf hosts impressive concerts and beloved artists all year long, but there’s nothing like belting out your favorite tunes under the stars during the summer. This June, you’ll want to head over to The Wharf in Orange Beach for nights filled with fantastic music. On June 2, Alabama Gulf Coast native Jimmy Buffet hits the stage with his Coral Reefer Band. Then, trade your parrotheads for cowboy hats and join Koe Wetzel and special guests on June 4 and Dierks Bentley on June 10. Be sure to be on the lookout for more concerts coming to Alabama’s beaches as new shows are added regularly.
