Gulf Shores Main Public Beach (Gulf Place)

COVID-19 UPDATE: To help protect the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers, this attraction will be closed to the public effective March 19, 7:00 am.

If you're looking for volleyball-playing, beach-bar-hanging good times, this spot - where Highway 59 dead-ends into the Gulf - is for you. For a small fee, you get all-day, up-close parking, making it easy to unload your gear. Paid parking lasts from March 1 - November 30. The cost is $5 for up to four hours or $10 for all day. Beach attendants, open-air pavilions and a picnic area are available. There are also restrooms and showers on site. This is a popular spot, so you may want to arrive early to get a prime parking spot.
