Ready to land the next big catch? For some people, spending the day on a boat with your line cast over the side is a great way to relax, get some sun and have fun. For others, the thrill of the catch and the fight on the other end of the line is what calls them to the water. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer a number of fishing choices that range from all-day charters to boats you can rent for the duration of your stay. Bringing your own? We’ve got a place to park it. In the lodging directory, you’ll find Gulf Shores and Orange Beach condos with boat slips or parking.

At the end of a day playing golf, fishing or hanging out at the beach is the promise of a man-sized meal. Try a Gulf Shores restaurant for a po’boy, grilled fish or some steamed Royal Reds. Savory and succulent best describes the way our fresh, Gulf seafood is served. Seafood isn’t all you’ll find on the menu at our beach restaurants though. There are plenty of steaks and burgers, too.

A stop for drinks and live music at an Orange Beach hotspot is just the way to cap off your guys getaway. At the end of the day, kick back and relax with your friends at your beachfront condo. There’s plenty still left to do tomorrow. Try ziplining or other activities listed in our attractions directory.
