Spend a rainy day at the Coastal Art Center in Orange Beach.

Rainy days on the Alabama Gulf Coast don’t have to be wasted days. There are many things to see and do indoors while the liquid sunshine falls from the skies.

• Interested in military history? Tour the historic Fort Morgan museum, the Battleship USS Alabama or the National Museum of Naval Aviation. All are educational, fun and inspiring.

• Love to shop? You’ve come to the perfect place to scratch that itch. From outlet stores to unique, one-of-a-kind shops, you’ll find what you’re looking for and then some.

Museums about art, medicine, Native Americans and sports are all great ways to fill a day when the weather is too damp to go outside. Baldwin County’s past is great and varied, and you’ll enjoy flipping through the pages of our past at any one of these great venues.

• The Coastal Art Center’s clay studio and Hot Shop is a great spot to spend the day. Make your own piece of art, and take home a custom-made souvenir.

The great thing about rain along the coast? It doesn’t usually last long, and the sand quickly dries for your next adventure.
