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.
