It’s hard to find Alabama’s perfect mixture of southern charm and small town life anywhere else.
Here’s a look at a few reasons why you should consider taking the family to Gulf Shores on your next trip:
Small Town Atmosphere
It can be rare these days to find an area with a truly laid-back vibe. It seems like people are constantly on the go, so taking a few days to enjoy small town life is always refreshing. Strangers still smile and say hello on the Gulf Shore, and there is something local to do for all tastes and interests. This makes it a great addition to any family vacation and a great reason to stick around.
