The beautiful and fascinating outdoors of Alabama can be best enjoyed and explored by staying in any of the Gulf Shores condo rentals. The coastal city of Gulf Shores, with its white sand and emerald green waters, coupled with its serene parks, skillfully designed golf courses and protected wildlife sanctuary makes it the ideal place to discover the great outdoors from a condo rental.
Enjoy the Outdoors
Gulf Shores enjoys relatively mild weather for most of the year,
which makes it perfect for outdoor activities. Beautiful beaches line W.
Beach Boulevard, all of which have bathhouses with restrooms and
parking spaces. Gulf Place Public Beach on Gulf Shores Parkway is a
public beach with picnic pavilions and boardwalk. You and your family
will enjoy building sand castles or can even have a hearty barbecue in
any of the horseshoe pits along the beach. At nighttime, the beach is a
nesting haven for endangered female sea turtles between the months of
May and October. A number of fishing expeditions are also available to
guests, with the city being the home to one of the largest artificial
reefs in the United States. Guests who love fishing will be delighted to
catch pompano, white trout or flounder among many types of fishes.
The historic Fort Morgan is a short drive from Gulf Shores where
visitors can enjoy traveling back in time with its museum, fort and
artillery batteries. The complex also has a bird sanctuary and a fishing
pier. A ferry ride along the nearby Mobile Bay will also bring the
visitor to the USS Alabama Battle Ship Memorial.
Golf enthusiasts will enjoy the famous Kiva Dunes Golf Course which overlooks the ocean, or the 18 hole Arnold Palmer designed Cypress Bend. Other golf courses are the 27-hole Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club and the resort course of The Golf Club at the Wharf. Many Gulf Shores rentals offer access to a number of these golf courses.
