Everyone knows Gulf Shores and OBA are the best kept secret in Alabama but besides beautiful beaches and epic sunsets, what else is there to do? Here we’ve compiled our best list of family friendly activities in Gulf shores and beyond. 

A trip to Gulf Shores is not complete without visiting the Gulf State Park. There are several public beaches here including Romar Beach, Cotton Bayou Beach, and Alabama Point East, but our favorite is the beach near the Gulf State Park Beach Pavilion.

Here there is ample parking as well as many concessionaires offering beach chair rentals, food and drinks, and other activities.
