Gulf Shores beach rentals enjoy access to the pristine beach and waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The water is calm and crystal clear, making it a perfect place for paddle boarding, relaxing, and even spotting schools of fish swimming near the shore. The sand found on Gulf Shores’ beaches is soft, white sugar sand that feels more like powdered sugar than the rougher sand found at most Atlantic beaches.
Gulf Shores is about 7 miles, or 10 minutes, from Orange Beach. While the two are fairly close in terms of distance, Gulf Shores is much older and tends to be busier than Orange Beach which is newer and growing each day. Because the two are so close to one another, you can stay in an Orange Beach vacation rental and still visit Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan with ease.
There is plenty of parking at Gulf Shores beaches, some is free but most require paying hourly.
