Music lovers from all over the country will converge on Gulf Shores and Orange Beach May 16-18 for the annual Hangout Music Fest featuring artists like The Black Keys, Outkast and Jack Johnson. But, if the music scene isn’t your thing, there’s still plenty to do away from the hustle and bustle of the festival site on Gulf Shores public beach.
Gulf Shores golf and Orange Beach fishing are always popular pastimes for Alabama Gulf Coast vacations. With 200 holes of championship golf and courses designed by golf greats like Arnold Palmer and Jerry Pate, you’ll find plenty of places to practice your putt during the Hangout Music Festival. Stay and Play packages are also available that include lodging and green fees.
Charter boats will be cruising the deep blue (and the inshore, too) during the annual festival. Spend all day on the water or board a boat for the morning hours with a four-hour inshore trip.
