As most of us remain stuck in Winter’s cold, it’s easy to start imagining warmer weather and beach vacations. Today we’re taking a second to set our sights on summer and day dream about vacationing in Orange Beach, Alabama!

Just minutes away from the popular Gulf Shores are the quiet, white sand beaches of Orange Beach, Alabama. And while Orange Beach may not be as well known, that doesn’t make it any less beautiful. The area is known for offering its visitors an abundance of water sports, emerald waters, and some great off shore activities too – like golf, shopping, and dining. So, whether you’re planning to relax on the beach, enjoy some deep-sea fishing, or play a round at some of Alabama’s best golf courses, there’s always something for everyone in Orange Beach!

The endless amount of activities (both on and off the water) have been continually growing along with the area’s popularity and we want to share some of our favorites with you!

When you travel to Orange Beach, be sure to pack your bathing suit – our favorite outdoor activities are going to lead you to the water! Get your adrenaline pumping at Orange Beach Parasailing or Jetskiing and Waterskiing. Looking for something a little more relaxing? We’ve got recommendations on that too.
