Ditch the crazy tie, socks or soap-on-a-rope this Father’s Day and give Dad what he really wants: a weekend at the beach golfing, fishing or simply catching some Zzzz’s by the condo pool.
Trade his lawn mower for a golf cart at one of nine championship golf courses on the Alabama Gulf Coast. No matter if he likes a course full of sand traps or a meandering trail with meticulously manicured lawns, you’re sure to find the perfect course for Dad’s day on the links.
Reel in some great times with the family on a charter fishing trip, or do a little pier fishing at the Gulf State Park pier, the longest pier on the Gulf of Mexico. If you book a charter, your bait, tackle and license will be taken care of, but if you’re pier fishing you’ll need to purchase a saltwater fishing license onsite at the pier office. Gulf Shores & Orange Beach fishing is some of the best in the country. Dad is sure to go home with some great fish stories about his Father’s Day beach getaway.
If Dad has an adventurous soul, a trip down the new Hummingbird Zipline at the Adventure Center at the Gulf State Park may be just the thing to get his heart pumping. And, the last leg of the course offers a dual zipline, perfect for some friendly competition among parents and siblings!
