Phoenix on the Bay II

Located off the Alabama Gulf Coast, Orange Beach is a bustling beach town. This scenic, laid-back town is filled with waterfront parks, beaches, trails, campgrounds, and more. Museums, amusement parks, and special events abound, making Orange Beach an engaging locale too. For some of Orange Beach’s best entertainment, head to the Wharf, a waterfront commercial hub with marinas, mini-golf, arcades, concerts, and more. For even more excitement, locals flock to Gulf Shores, another popular tourist city just west of Orange Beach. Orange Beach’s dining options range from award-winning waterfront restaurants to casual surf and turf spots. Along with its white sandy beaches, Orange Beach is known for being home to one of the world’s largest artificial reefs. If you’d rather stay on land, check out the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail - Rosemary Dunes Trailhead, where you might be able to spot an alligator.
