Why you'd want to live in Gulf Shores

Here it is, the ultimate beach lover’s destination. The turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico are amazingly warm, and its white sands are some of the softest in the world. Relax after a day of fun at a luxurious beachfront condo, a color beach house, or a trusted nationally branded hotel. You’ll love spending time on the water, deep sea or pier fishing, parasailing, or enjoying a dolphin cruise, but don’t miss opportunities to explore beyond the shore. Favorite activities include hiking or biking the backcountry trail, kayaking the back bays, golfing, fun-filled attractions and renowned events. The dining options are endless here, including the freshest Gulf seafood possible. In fact, many of our restaurants will cook what you catch on your fishing excursion via alabama.travel/places-to-go
