The sights and sounds of the holidays are everywhere along the Alabama Gulf Coast, where we always have a white-sand Christmas. Christmas music fills the air and twinkling lights fill the night sky. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway to buy those last few gifts or will be taking in the sights in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, a Coastal Christmas is waiting for you.
We listed just a few of the family-fun events you’re invited to experience with us. For more holiday events and activities, visit the Calendar of Events.
