Boating in Orange Beach, AL

Boating, dockage and reservations in Orange Beach, AL
Orange Beach, is the first Alabama town you will reach while heading towards the Florida waters. Here at Orange Beach you will find 32 miles of sugar white beaches, sea oats, sand dunes, and green gulf waters. Most importantly is the fishing and beaches which the locals do a fine job of making accessible to visitors. Even though the area has been hit hard by hurricanes, a restoration effort has earned the beaches along the Gulf Shores and Ocean Beach a "Top Restored Beach" award in 2006 by the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA).

What to Do

Enjoy the most popular afternoon activity on the entire Gulf Coast, Orange Beach Sailing Charters and Sunset Cruises(251-981-SAIL(7245)).  Coastal Alabama has the most romantic and beautiful views that you can see from the waters while sailing on the cruise.  Whether your young or old you and your loved ones will cherish these memories for a lifetime.

Drop in at the Orange Beach Indian & Sea Museum (25850 John M Snook Dr.; 251-981- 8545), where you can learn more about our Native American and fishing heritage.

In addition to the new condominiums growing up the beach, there is a new place called The Wharf (251-224- 1900 or www.thewharfal.com).
