Gulf Shores and Gulf State Park
Gulf Shores is a sunny beach town on the Gulf of Mexico with soft white sand and warm blue water. Gulf State Park sits right beside it with trails, a fishing pier, and gentle waves.
It is Alabama's most loved beach, famous for sandcastles, dolphins swimming offshore, and warm water perfect for splashing. Families come every summer to relax and hunt for seashells.
Beach Fun
The sand is powdery and white, great for building castles and digging holes. The water is shallow and warm near the shore, so it is nice for little swimmers.
Dolphins
If you watch the water, you might see dolphins jumping in the distance. Boat tours can take you out for a closer look at these playful animals.
Warm Weather
Summers here are hot and sunny, perfect for swimming. Remember to wear a hat and lots of sunscreen because the sun is strong.
