This is one of the best ways to lounge at the beach. Constructed of bright blue shipping containers that are stacked along the waterline, The Gulf is sprinkled with lounge chairs and tables in the sand. It’s up-scaled patio-seating, beach-bum style. While you can’t get into the water from the restaurant, you can definitely enjoy the expansive Gulf views.

Categorizing The Hangout as a restaurant just doesn’t cut it. More than a restaurant, it’s an experience. We can’t put our finger on the best part: the family-friendly DJ? Family dancing on the table? Hourly foam pit? Live music? Great food? This trendy spot lives up to its name. It’ definitely a place you’ll want to spend time and hang out.

This is another wonderful restaurant experience to add to your itinerary and is one of my family’s favorites! With an arcade, ropes course, and sandpit, waiting for a table was never so much fun. The restaurant is renowned for its food allergy menu. Travelers with food sensitivities often find comfort in the wealth of options for gluten-free, shellfish-free, seafood-free, egg-free, soy-free, and dairy-free food items offered here.

For those travelers who like small local, mom-and-pop spots, Sea-N-Suds is the place! Serving diners for more than 40 years, this restaurant is casual dining at its Southern-fried best. The view from Sea-N-Suds is matchless, located right on the beach; you can wear your finest beach attire and no one will bat an eye.

Known as the Little Zoo That Could, the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo may not be big, but it sure does leave a lasting impression. Their animal encounters are a favorite for visitors! We highly recommend their lemur experience!
