It’s a unique and thrilling way to explore our coastal waters.

Orange Beach and Gulf Shores offer multiple tours on various vessels in the Gulf and backways. These cruises are a unique and unforgettable experience that those of all ages will enjoy.

A day here is the perfect way to cool off and find family fun.

The Wharf Concert

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. Catch Koe Wetzel on June 2, James Taylor on June 15, and Walker Hayes on June 24. Be on the lookout for more concerts coming to Alabama’s beaches as new shows are added regularly.

Deep Sea Fishing Charter Orange Beach

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 trip, you can choose from inshore or offshore fishing and a day trip or overnight excursion, depending on the species you want 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.

Xit Escape Room Gulf Shores
7. Break Out from an Escape Room

Test your skills under pressure with an escape room. You’ve got one hour to break out of the exciting escape rooms in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Investigate a murder at XIT Escape Room, go undercover at Breakout Games, or survive an approaching hurricane at Escape House Waterville. No matter where you choose, you’re sure to have a fun time!

Sand Castle University Gulf Shores
8. Graduate from Sand Castle 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 into the sand.

Yumm Twister Ice Cream
9. Cool Off with Ice Cream

End a perfect day spent on the beach by cooling off with a tasty treat. Our area has lots of fantastic ice cream shops to satisfy your sweet tooth and help you beat the heat. Grab a bowl of rolled ice cream at Cowbell Rolled Ice Cream, indulge in a handcrafted twisted cone at Yumm Twister & Ice Cream, or try the delicious homemade flavors at Pete’s Ice Cream & Donuts.
