Relax, unwind and reconnect with your best girlfriends in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Take advantage of our sugar-white sand beaches, to celebrate friendships, reminisce, make new memories, and laugh ’til it hurts. Use our three-day itinerary as your guide to reconnect with your gals.

Day 1

The Southern Grind Coffee House

Breakfast

Today is shop-till-you-drop day! That means you’ll be starting your day at The Wharf in Orange Beach. Swing by The Southern Grind Coffee House and enjoy a beach chic atmosphere with your specialty coffee. Whether you want a hearty breakfast or something on the lighter side, the Orange Beach coffee house has plenty to choose from.

Lunch

No doubt all that shopping can work up an appetite! Dine al fresco at Villaggio Grille and feast on Italian favorites like seafood pasta with Gulf shrimp, scallops and lump crab meat topped with alfredo.

Day 2

Café Beignet in Orange Beach

Afternoon

After all that sun, replenish your body with a delicious concoction of super fruits at Soul Bowlz in Gulf Shores. These frozen treats combine exotic fruits, and hemp seed granola and come drizzled with local honey.

Day 3

Playa in Orange Beach

Brunch

No one likes to say goodbye, so soak up every moment of memory making with brunch at Playa at Sportsman Marina in Orange Beach. Say “cheers” to mimosas or sip a Pink Pineapple, a sweet and tangy frozen blend of tequila, vodka, Fresh Victor Cactus Pear and pomegranate. 

Playa

Afternoon

Some of the best souvenirs are the ones you make, especially when you make them with friends. Schedule a Signature Experience with High Cotton Bath Company and take home a scentful souvenir, as well as memories of a terrific, fun afternoon.

Dinner

Put on your favorite dress and make reservations at Fisher’s Dockside. This gorgeous location has both indoor and outside dining (in case you’d like a close-up water view) and offers some of the finest dining in the south.
