Several exciting sporting events are hosted along our beautiful beaches and within Gulf State Park throughout the year! May on the Alabama Gulf Coast brings warm weather, sunny skies and high-stake competition as the best teams from across the country battle it out for the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship. You’ll also find a wide array of races out on the trails and fishing tournaments at area marinas.

When the weather cools down, the competition is still hot with the annual Brett/Robinson Alabama Coastal Triathlon at Gulf Place Public Beach every September and the Coastal Half Marathon at the Orange Beach Sportsplex/Gulf State Park every November!
