Things To Do
USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park
If you're staying for a few days, definitely check out the battleship! It stinks a lil on the inside, but it was so cool! And it has a nice lil gift shop. It's about 20 minutes to get there from Hwy 65 and Airport
101 Gulf Shores Pkwy
Beautiful beach with public bathrooms, a couple pavilions, and shops down the road. I believe you pay for parking. This is about 1.5 hrs from Mobile. Most definitely worth the drive.
Pensacola Beach
This beach is amazing. The water is so clear and the sand is very clean. It's 1.5 hrs from Mobile. Parking is free. There are lots of gift shops and restaurants, and if you want to be in a quieter area, just keep driving west on the island and there are many parking spots and public access beaches. If you want to go on the pier, I think it costs around $3 a person.
The Gulf - Orange Beach
The food is SO GOOD. It's outdoors and so beautiful. Great service. I believe there is a location in Pensacola as well. You will love it
The Haberdasher
The drinks here are amazing and the atmosphere is great
Waterfront Rescue Mission Thrift Store
Okay so this is a weird recommendation, but if you like a good thrift store, this is the one for you! It's got a bunch of nice clothes and furniture and random lil things to look at. I always find something cool when I go.
