Saddle Up
It’s not uncommon to see dolphins, herons, and crabs along our shoreline, but in September, bulls can also be spotted on the beach! Flora-Bama’s Bulls on the Beach is one of the most unique and thrilling events along the Gulf Coast. For three nights, professional bull riders put their rodeo skills to the test at the iconic honky tonk bar.
