Gulf Shores

Built around its broad Gulf of Mexico beach, Gulf Shores grew into one of Alabama’s principal coastal resort cities. The city sits on a low-lying barrier-coast landscape, with Little Lagoon running behind much of the beachfront and Gulf State Park extending east toward Lake Shelby. White-sand beaches and warm Gulf waters shape daily life, while seafood remains central to local dining. Each autumn, the National Shrimp Festival brings music, food vendors and Gulf Coast cooking traditions to the shoreline.
