Going on a family vacation from July 11 until July 17th to the Gulf Shores / Orange beach area.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to things to do and or see, places to eat/ drink.

Is there anything boating related that's worth checking out, events, cool docks to hang out at ect?

Any other notable activities??


Thanks

Flora-bama !!!

Flora Bama yacht club. Pirates cove. Robinson island. These 3 are the best if your taking boat. Plenty of fun stuff in the area. Pm me for details I know the place well.

25 Daytona,

Just checked that out. That looks like a good time. Noted




Edit, Not bringing the boat. Not looking forward to the drive, let alone while dragging a boat.

Awesome place just got back yesterday. You will love it but I highly recommend for you to bring the boat.

Worth the tow. Do it. We tow down several times a year. Ramps are nice. W/o boat u are limited on things to do.

Tacky Jacks on cotton bayou, Colbalt rest has happy hour draft beer 1.00 and bangbang shrimp for 5.00,Colbalt has a good view... We went for the 4th it was as crowded as Destin. the new http://www.beachexpress.com/ makes up some time,

Somebody said the Hangout was having bands on the weekends??? Live bait in gulfdshores,

Strip did you have the boat with you? I dont recall seeing a hustler out and about but I stayed on the hard on the 4th.

naw no boat,buddy bought a house on Cotton Bayou canal, just rode in his center console, Its been years since weve been down there,its grown up and bussy. I noticed there is alot more sand/beach places to pull up to. The last time we were there west side of Robinson island was the only place to pull up to in a boat,

the Jelly fish were pretty bad

Where on cotton bayou, thats where my fam has a place. we are on the south side of marina road.
