Live where others vacation. On the Alabama Gulf Coast, living at the beach means your days are framed by sugar-white sand, breezy dockside dining and afternoons on the water.
When you call the Alabama Gulf Coast home, “running errands” might mean a quick stop for groceries in flip-flops with a view of the water. Mornings often start with coffee on the balcony while pelicans glide past, and evenings wrap up with sunset walks along the shoreline.
Here, you’ll find neighborhoods tucked near marinas, waterfront restaurants serving up the catch of the day and miles of biking and walking trails winding down the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail.
The City of Gulf Shores hosts seasonal events and local live music at Gulf Place, while The Wharf in Orange Beach keeps the calendar full with concerts, shopping and delicious dining. Local markets, art festivals and seafood celebrations mean you’re never far from something fresh and fun.
Impressive schools, parks and year-round recreation make the area a charming place to raise a family. Here, the pace is easy, the people are welcoming and your “backyard” is one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline anywhere.
