Gulf Shores

There are multiple beautiful white sand beaches along the Gulf Shores in Alabama, and these shores are not small by any means; it is a 32-mile-long stretch of sandy beaches and pearlescent waters. These beaches have quartz grains that were washed down thousands of years ago from the Appalachian Mountains to create some of the finest shorelines in the world. With the vast amount of resorts and hotels that line the shore, there is no reason not to take a break to visit these stunning shorelines.

Fairhope

Fairhope is referred to as an artist’s colony or community because many known artists and novelists, including Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Bragg, have called it home. Though there is a small fee to access the beach during the summer, the pier is free and is the place to create memories. With nature all around, white sands, and waves crashing against the rocks on the shore, it is a hotspot for photography, romance, and writing outstanding novels.

Fort Morgan

Wouldn’t it be lovely if there was a beach with a museum close by? Fort Morgan is conveniently placed by the shore, which makes its location very convenient. It is a historical state site that has both the beach and plenty of tourist sights for a cultural visit that is balanced between relaxation and learning something new. The area is a national historic landmark and there is a museum for tourists to visit and learn more about Fort Morgan, so it’s lovely to visit for the beauty of the beach itself and the cultural activities.

Orange Beach
