Beach Hotels in Orange Beach, AL

Along Alabama's Gulf Coast rests a well-known water sports hub and charming beach community, Orange Beach. This smaller-sized city is located on Wolf Bay and harbors a good blend of unique attractions, dining experiences, music venues, and endless outdoor adventure both on and off the water. While in town, explore the many attractions Orange Beach has to offer, like The Orange Beach Indian & Sea Museum, The Wharf— a shopping area complete with an amphitheater, or the Backcountry Trail, which winds from the city through Gulf State Park's beaches! Whatever you chose to do, just remember to bring plenty of sun protection and a good swimsuit to this sunny seaside town.

The Wharf is one of the biggest attractions drawing in visitors to town with its array of dining options, local boutique shopping, and boat bars! Satisfy your cravings with a Southern dish from one of the Wharf’s awaiting restaurants and bars, enjoy a bit of fine dining, or eat like a local from unfussy seafood restaurants. Spend the afternoon seaside from one of the Wharf’s spas for a day of rejuvenation during your stay! Pamper yourself with a hot stone massage or facial, or mix up your hairstyle from one of the local salons. Up and down the wooden planks of the Wharf, you’ll find tons of cute boutiques and stores from which to shop the day away!

Take the kids to Adventure Island off Perdido Beach Blvd where they can enjoy exciting rides and adventures all day long! With activities like go-karts, bumper boats, laser tag, adventure golf, paddle boat rides, and a full arcade, they won’t run out of ways to play. Then, watch the park’s five-story volcano erupt with fire shooting straight into the sky! For a bit of family fun, play a group game at the 18-hole mini golf course or take a slow and steady boat ride on the park’s Lost Lagoon Lake. And if that didn’t wear the kids out, head over to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo to check out the 118 species inhabiting the zoo, 22 of which are critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, or near threatened species. After a long day of sightseeing, grab some grub from The Safari Club Gulf Shores' on-site restaurant before heading back to your Orange Beach resort.

Make a day trip on the water with The Fun Boat Dolphin Cruises, where you’ll spend the afternoon with a knowledgeable deckhand guide who can answer all your questions and share fun facts and secrets about the local sea life. After an hour or two of dolphin sighting, it’s time for water wars! The kids will be given water cannons and squirt guns for a day of super-soaked fun in the sun!
