We All Need Places to Go…
even if we live on a beach!
Sparkling white beaches may attract us to this Gulf Coast. But the places to go beyond our beaches surprise us with variety, enjoyment, and beauty.
Those of us who live along this upper Gulf of Mexico coastline know we live in a perfectly located beach paradise &mash; filled with fun, food, entertainment…and so much more.
Alabama beaches smack dab in the middle of paradise.We also know, our paradise only begins at the beach. And then spreads inland, all across Florida’s Panhandle, Lower Alabama, and Coastal Mississippi—where you’ll find places far beyond ordinary beach attractions.
From Alabama beaches you’ll be close to everything you (or someone with you) will want to do. And you won't need any genius to enjoy these extraordinary beaches.

Because, as we locals can tell you, the beaches are only one attraction (of ever so many).
