City - Gulf Shores

Located on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, Gulf Shores is a popular vacation destination, as well as a family-friendly beach town. The Gulf Shores Public Beach is a busy, yet relaxing retreat for swimming, sunbathing, and scenic walks on the shore. Gulf State Park features even more beaches, as well as trails, a golf course, tennis courts, and a fishing pier that features beautiful views of the ocean.

Along the shore, you’ll find laid-back, beachy restaurants and bars like Bahama Bob’s Beach Side Café, the Hangout, Shrimp Basket, and De Soto’s Seafood Kitchen. Although the sandy shoreline is a major attraction for Gulf Shores, there are other kid-friendly amenities around town like Johnnie Sims Park Pavilion, Pirate’s Island Adventure Golf, and the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Apartments and single-family homes range from affordable to upscale in Gulf Shores, so there’s something for every renter.
