Orange Beach Guide de voyage

Orange Beach, Alabama is a coveted vacation spot tucked along the banks of the Gulf of Mexico. The adventure-loving resort town hosts the largest Charter Fishing Fleet on the Gulf Coast, in addition to an attractive events calendar filled with deep-sea fishing and water-assisted excursions. Most of the City of Orange Beach, Alabama is lodged on man-made Pleasure Island, with Downtown Orange Beach situated just on the end of the island. The Wharf, a 220-acre resort destination on Intracoastal Waterway, has a emerged as a major player in the face of the new Downtown area. The Wharf showcases a two story shopping mecca, including restaurants and a fifteen screen movie theater, condominiums, a hotel, an amphitheater, and a four story parking garage. A towering ferris wheel and glitzy marina are The Wharf's top attractions. The Bama Bayou Riverwalk is perched just across from The Wharf, on the mainland side of the Intracoastal Waterway. Bama Bayou features a vibrant business/leisure community that includes the Bama Bayou Convention Center, Bama Bayou Nature Walk, and Gulf World Marine Park at Bama Bayou. A work in progress, The Riverwalk will soon sport the 650-unit Bama Bayou Resort, Bald Cypress Lodge, and Bama Bayou Village Shops. Gulf Shores Resort Park is one of the most traveled visitors magnets on Orange Beach. Gulf Shores Resort Park features 6,150 acres of action-packed island, including two miles of sugary-white sand beaches. Gulf Shores is accentuated by an 825 foot Gulf of Mexico fishing pier, an eighteen-hole championship golf course, and a 900 acre freshwater lake. The park also hosts modern and traditional facilities for camping, cottages, hiking trails, fishing, tennis, nature programs, and picnic shelters. Additional Orange Beach, Alabama attractions include Orange Beach Indian & Sea Museum, Orange Beach Golf Center, Gulf State Park, and nearby Waterville USA in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
