Gulf Shores Summer Guide
Summer in Gulf Shores is when everyone loves to spend long days on our magnificent beaches. It's a time when families and off beat travelers line up for dolphin spotting, fishing and other water sports. There's always lots to do and we're sharing some of our most useful tips with you.
Best Time to Visit Gulf Shores
When you visit the beach, you want it to be warm so you can spend lots of time on the sand and in the water for as long as possible. Down here, the warm weather lasts a lot longer than the calendar would have you believe. Spring through Fall is prime beach time. Of course, when school is out the beaches can be crowded. But hey. There's really no bad time to be at the beach.
