Gulf Shores, Alabama
Discover Gulf Shores Rentals
Just west of Orange Beach, you will discover the white-sand beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama. This Coastal Alabama community offers the same emerald waters and scenic views you have come to expect from the Gulf Coast, as well as terrific attractions, water sports, top-rated festivals and a variety of condos and houses to suit any size group or budget.
Before the completion of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in 1937, Gulf Shores was a mostly unknown area of wetlands and inaccessible beachfront. Once access to the area was improved, the spectacular beauty of the beach was uncovered. The first hotel opened in the 1940s, paving the way for what would soon become Alabama’s most popular getaway.
While the beach is always the main attraction, visitors return each year for annual events like the Hangout Music Festival and the National Shrimp Festival. Gulf Shores is a foodie’s paradise, with an abundance of local restaurants showcasing fresh seafood and chef-made cuisine. Of course, there is always time for thrilling activities, including visiting the nearby OWA and Tropic Falls amusement parks, parasailing, charter fishing and kayaking.
