Don’t put away your flip flops just because the kids have pulled out textbooks. Fall is a fantastic time to visit Gulf Shores & Orange Beach. In addition to absolutely beautiful sunny days that linger far longer here than in other places, we offer almost non-stop festivals and events during the autumn months. The Annual National Shrimp Festival, which will celebrate its 40th year, is a weekend full of art, live music and, of course, shrimp served every way you can imagine. Thunder on the Gulf features some of the fastest powerboats around tearing up the Gulf. And Songwriters’ Festival brings celebrated songwriters to various venues each night for two weeks.
Don’t let the end of summer mean the end of your beach time. Come visit us during one of the best times of the year on Alabama’s beautiful white-sand beaches.
