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.

Two green glow kayaks are on a beach at night, illuminated by their internal lights, with distant city lights across the water. Sea View Tours offers night kayaking in glow kayaks for $60 per person.
Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Guide
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.

Dox Grill House 📍St. Clair Shores, MI
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

A mesmerizing night scene of ocean waves glowing with vibrant blue bioluminescence as they crash onto a dark shore. The sparkling water creates a magical "sapphire shores" effect, with hints of golden light reflecting in the distance.

Can’t say enough about it. It’s very close to Clearwater to where you can go out and do things. It’s not too crowded but there’s still a nice amount of people. The sunsets are breath taking. We come down this way every year and I can’t wait until we come back again 🫶🏼 some of my favorite places
