Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, Alabama

I absolutely loved this place! Just imagine what life would have been like while this fort was in operation. 🤯 I love seeing old places especially battle grounds. ❤️ You’ll need to be able to walk quite a bit here but it’s so worth it! #travel #alabama #gulfshores

A woman in a floral swimsuit sits in an orange hammock outside Avenue Pub, holding a drink. The image highlights unique things to do in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, Alabama, including Hammock Time Tiki Tours and Avenue Pub's Vanilla Bushwacker.

A Hammock Time Tiki Tour boat, featuring hammocks and a tiki bar, is docked in a marina. The tour offers 2 or 4-hour options for $70/$125 per person, with private charters available.

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.
