Will & Anna
Things To Do
Flora-Bama
Yes, this is THE famous Flora-Bama (cue the Kenny Chesney song by the same name). Located on the Alabama-Florida line, Flora-Bama has 5 stages and 5+ bars so this iconic dive bar is the place to go out if you want good music and a good time. It's quite an experience and we recommend that everyone at least stops by while in Orange Beach!
The Gulf
This is Will's favorite restaurant in Orange Beach. Come here if you want chill vibes and a view of the boats coming in through the pass from the Gulf. We recommend the lobster shrimp roll, loaded fries, mahi-mahi tacos and the burger.
CoastAL
This is Anna's favorite restaurant in Orange Beach. Come here for beach views, live music and good food. Be sure to check out the menu for the beachside bar vs. the regular restaurant before deciding where to sit because they have different menus. We recommend the pimento cheese, fried crab claws, cajun chicken pasta, gumbo bites, baked oysters, and ancient grains salad. CoastAL also has great breakfast!
Cobalt, The Restaurant
Cobalt has contemporary coastal cuisine and waterfront dining. We recommend the firecracker shrimp, tuna and avocado stack, cobalt wedge, shrimp and grits and cobalt pizza. Accessible via boat.
OSO
Oso has great mexican-seafood fusion cuisine and has a nice marina view. We recommend the gumbo, fried pickles, tuna bowl, tacos, nachos and quesadilla. Oso also has great breakfast! Accessible via boat.
Flora-Bama Yacht Club & Ole River Grill
This is a laid back, open-air restaurant on the water with a beach and live music. We recommend the crab hush puppies, firecracker coconut shrimp, firecracker calamari, ahi tuna nachos, greek salad, raspberry pecan salad, grilled mahi tacos and beignet fries. You can also walk across the street to the main Flora-Bama bar if you want to check it out! Accessible via boat.
Doc's Seafood Shack
This hole-in-the-wall seafood spot is a local favorite, boasting of the "best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world". We recommend the fried shrimp platter, fried crab claws, grilled fish, onion rings, crab cakes and hushpuppies.
Pirate's Cove
We recommend only going here by boat! This is the ultimate beach dive bar and has the best Bushwacker around. Accessible via boat.
