The Alabama
Gulf Coast
Alabama's Gulf Coast offers the
beautiful white sand Gulf beaches, bountiful bays, fresh water lakes, the
intracoastal waterway, championship golf courses, fishing, resort and country
living, outlet shopping, and the freshest seafood that can be found. A small
town atmosphere with plentiful opportunities.
What's the
Climate? Coastal Alabama lies in the southern sub-tropical
area of North America, where mild temperatures greet visitors year-round. Gulf
Breezes temper the typically hot summer weather, and spring and fall days are
usually warm with cool evenings.
What to
Wear? Casual attire is the usual fare in Orange Beach/Gulf
Shores and is accepted at most restaurants and other public areas. In summer,
wear very light clothing, such as shorts and T-shirts. Bring a hat for the
beach or walking in the sun, and sunscreen is a must. In early spring and late
fall, lightweight clothing with longer sleeves and pants is all you'll need for
daytime, with a sweater for evenings. In winter, long pants long sleeves, and
sweater or jacket is usually enough to keep you warm.
