Food scene

This is a local favorite. No ambiance, no beach view, but fantastic food at a great price. Offers seafood of course, but also offers great southern entrees and sides for landlubbers!

Beach bar/restaurant that's right on the ocean with great views and good seafood. Known for mullet (the fish, not the hair style!). If you like catfish, you'll like mullet.

Grocery Stores/Retail

Rouses is our go-to grocery store at the beach. Groceries with a Cajun flair -- this grocery will remind you that Gulf Shores isn't that far from Louisiana afterall! Wonderful option for hot prepared food at dinnertime, like smoked ribs, cajun boiled shrimp and crawfish. Great fish and meat market in the store, as well as traditional grocery items.

What can I say: it's Walmart, they sell everything you could ever need! I only list it here because it's very close by but hard to see from Hwy 59. Easy directions: turn right onto Fort Morgan Rd and it will be a short minute on your left.

Entertainment

You gotta go here during your visit, it's just a must. Inside is a large restaurant/sports bar located right on the beach, free family entertainment outside in their large courtyard with games for all ages and free music at night. Safe and fun way for the adults to relax and enjoy a drink while the children play.

Hmmm, how to describe the Flora-Bama...It's a live music-honky tonk-restaurant-beach bar that hosts a church service on Sunday morning. Yep, only in Alabama. Take Beach Blvd. east and when you get to the Alabama-Florida line you'll find the Flora-Bama on your right, and you won't miss it. Check out their website for more info on events...and have fun!

If you're a history buff, don't miss Fort Morgan Historic Site. Located at the point where the Mobile Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Morgan played a significant role in the 1864 Battle of Mobile Bay. Take a picnic and enjoy history.
