Gulf Shores & Orange Beach offer some really unique things to do for a beach destination! Here are my recommendations: 🍹 Hammock Time Tiki Tours - I highly recommend heading to one of the bars (Avenue Pub has an incredible Vanilla Bushwacker) then going over to the islands to hang out.

Finally tried DOX Grillhouse and I will be back! It had a lively and fun energy and I bet it would be super fun on a game day. The establishment had a patio and a nice roof top deck. I think it’s worth going if you live in the area and want a comfortable setting without having to go downtown Detr

Parlor Doughnuts 📍St. Clair Shores
I did not realize Parlor Soughnuts was a franchise! If you had then, how did you like them? Overall, I was pleased with my order and will be back! I’m not a donut person, but I really enjoyed their donuts as they’re more of a cronut and less yeasty. The donuts are packed with unique flavors.
