Coming To Your Senses In 24 Hours in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
The American road trip is back and it’s bigger and better than ever before. Spend 24 hours in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, Alabama, for an incredible experience. These two beach towns sit on the 32 miles of pristine beaches along the Alabama Coastline. When I hop in the car to drive the 935 miles, I immediately begin to visualize driving into town on the Foley Beach Express. The colorful Gulf waters are waiting for me, as I prepare to sink my feet into the fine, sugar sand. You can easily spend a full week exploring Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. In a short period of time, 24 hours to be exact, you can come to your senses along the Alabama Coastline.
The Return Of The American Road Trip
Note: This post is a partnership with Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism As always, the opinions are my own. And if you have followed me for quite some time, you know that this destination is my slice of paradise.
Breakfast At An Award-Winning Restaurant
Feast your eyes on a homemade pop-tart or biscuit at BuzzCatz Coffee & Sweets. Your eyes and your taste buds will thank you as you kick off your day with breakfast. If pop-tarts are not your thing, order anything with a biscuit. BuzzCatz Coffe & Sweets is known for its award-winning biscuits.
I am not a coffee drinker, but I know that many people do stop here to pick up their favorite brew first thing in the morning. As soon as you open the door to this restaurant, you will quickly be aware that you are in an award-winning restaurant. The smell of breakfast in full force will quickly overcome you. This is the perfect way to kick off your 24 hours in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, Alabama.
Walk The Beach
Sinking your toes into the fine, sugar sand is a must when you are in Gulf Shores. Your feet will enjoy the feeling that this simple pleasure offers. Bring your phone or camera with you, as birding opportunities are everywhere. The blue & green colors of the water accompany the sand that your feet will succumb to. If time permits, book a sandcastle building experience through Sand Castle University.
I cannot think of a better way for you to experience the incredible sand that can be found in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.
