5 Action-Packed Activities
On Alabama's Beaches
Your heart will be pounding with adrenaline when you explore all of the exciting activities in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Adventure seekers love to visit the Alabama Gulf Coast!
1. Fishing
Try your fishing luck on the Alabama Gulf Coast and make your dreams of catching the big one come true. Rent a boat and explore the back bays or catch amberjack from the second largest pier in the Gulf of Mexico. Prefer something far out? More than 100 experienced charter boat captains are ready to take you to some of the 17,000 artificial reefs spanning more than 1,200 square miles (the largest reef system in the country).
2. Dive Trip
Take a dive with a wide variety of marine life at four new snorkeling reefs in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. You’ll find two near Gulf State Park’s Beach Pavilion, one at Alabama Point and one at Romar Beach. Or you might enjoy snorkeling at the Alabama Point jetties in Orange Beach, the Whiskey Wreck in Gulf Shores or the Paddle Wheeler in Gulf Shores. Dive deeper to the first deck and wheelhouse of the freighter The LuLu, sunk in 2013, or the New Venture, a 250-foot ocean surveying ship, sunk in June 2018. You might spot an octopus disappearing into its lair, a sea turtle languidly exploring the area and schools of fish flitting curiously around you.
3. Visit The Factory Trampoline Park
Take the excitement indoors and visit The Factory. Get your heart pounding with 12,000+ feet of trampolines, batting cages with pitching machines, foam pits, trampoline dodgeball, trampoline basketball and arcade games. Try your hand at the indoor climbing walls. Don’t worry if you’ve never climbed before! The friendly staff will show you the ropes. What a great way to spend a rainy day (or a sunny one) with energy-filled family members!
4. Take to the Skies
Get your adrenaline pumping with high-in-the-sky adventures. Book now to assure your place for skydiving, or discover the thrill of flight over the beautiful white-sand beaches in a gyroplane. Unlike a typical tour flight, you get an opportunity to fly the aircraft with the help of an FAA-Certified flight instructor! Looking for a one-of-a-kind view of the turquoise waters of the Gulf? Then parasailing is a must-add to your list.
5. Visit Waterville USA Water & Amusement Park
Beat the heat and head to Waterville USA! This popular attraction offers you 20-acres of non-stop fun through the waterpark, amusement park, dining options and escape rooms. There is guaranteed to be an activity for every member of your group!
After all the excitement from these activities and your tournament, you’ll be ready to down a few cold ones and grab a bite to eat at one of the award-winning restaurants. After dinner, explore the many nightlife options from concerts and karaoke to one-of-a-kind bars.
