Gulf Shores

Beaches Sugar-white beaches, fresh seafood, championship golf courses, charter fishing trips, wildlife areas, theme parks and playgrounds, Birding TrailGulf State Park, and Civil War Trail MuseumsFort Morgan Historic Site and Museum, the site of the Civil War battle of Mobile Bay, are just a few of the things Gulf Shores has in store for visitors. In fact, the events are almost as numerous as the attractions. For example, in October, there’s the world-renowned Annual National Shrimp Festival. Fabulous seafood, arts and crafts, and music make this the event of the season. And the month-long October Fishing Rodeo offers fun and great prizes. In November, local songwriters croon their hearts out at the Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival. Visit www.gulfshores.com for more information.
