Orange Beach & Gulf Shores, Alabama, USA Gulf Coast

It seems like lifetimes ago that Orange Beach & Gulf Shores were small, quiet coastal towns, as in recent years they've become (nearly) overrun by towering, glass condominiums & chain surf-shops. Thankfully there are still some hidden gems to be discovered... I've created a map to help you find the best of these charming gulf coast towns including the sites that put them on the map as well as their best kept secrets.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
An American in Paris... Milan, Lisbon, Athens, London... I grew up between the Southwest and the Gulf Coast, but feel most at home in a bustling European city, typically with one of my trusty canvas totes by my side! I am a firm believer that anyone can travel well, regardless of budget, and I want everyone to understand that there’s more out there than just the popular spots you see on instagram. I yearn to connect with the locals wherever I travel, leading to authentic (and sometimes unexpected) adventures. I consider myself an off-the-beaten-path type of traveler, avoiding crowded areas and seasons, searching for hidden gems wherever I find myself in the world. I take pride in carefully curating trips for the traveler I am booking for, making for an extremely unique and memorable trip!
