Along with the crystal waters of the Gulf, the area is home to many rivers, bays and inlets teeming with fish. Catch a speckled trout from your canoe along the backwater bays. Venture into the deeper waters of the Gulf to reel in a snapper for dinner or land a billfish for the fight of your life.

If your sights are set on birding in Alabama, look no further. The Gulf Coast is home to an extensive nature trail for bird watching. A day trip to nearby Weeks’ Bay Estuary or Dauphin Island Sea Lab will provide you with remarkable opportunities to study indigenous and migrating species as well.

If shopping is your favorite pursuit, the chase is over. The Tanger Outlet in Foley boasts more than 120 factory outlets, like Banana Republic, GAP, J.Crew, Coach, and more. You’ll also relish the unique clothing and jewelry found in local boutiques. The Gulf Coast is a true shopper’s haven.

Golf, anyone? With so many championship courses in reach, it’s hard to decide which to play first. We offer a variety of convenient golf packages, whether you want a round with a buddy, or a whole weekend of golf tied to a corporate event.
