Extraordinary seafood in Orange Beach

You’ll never lack culinary options in Orange Beach! With its 32 miles of white sand beaches, expect a lot of seafood — crayfish, lobster, and crab, in particular. Locals love Tacky Jacks, with its laid-back, all-day waterfront dining. Other restaurants along the beach are more bar-and-grill style or offer barbecue. Almost all feature incredibly fresh, high-quality fish, ready to be washed down with a few cold beers. Be sure to try the local oysters, too, and finish off with Key Lime pie for dessert.

Ideal weather for a beach vacation

This part of Alabama on the Gulf of Mexico is known for its warm, humid climate. Temperatures stay well above freezing even in the middle of winter. Most visitors book an Orange Beach rental during July or August, when the average high daily temperatures can hit 90°F and the lows rarely go below 74°F. Be sure to stay hydrated and pack plenty of sunscreen!

Great attractions for all ages in Orange Beach

With its white sand, sweeping bays, and nearby bayous, visitors will love the wealth of attractions in Orange Beach. Go on a deep-sea fishing day boat trip, try a new water sport like kayaking or canoeing, or visit the Orange Beach Golf Center. Kids will love the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, as well as dolphin-spotting ocean outings! The Wharf offers indoor and outdoor recreation for both children and adults. Located at Foley Beach Expressway and Canal Road, don’t miss The Wharf’s Light and Sound Spectacular in the amphitheater, or just take the kids mini-golfing or for a spin on the Ferris wheel.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try chartering a boat from Zeke’s Landing Marina. They offer offshore bottom fishing and tuna fishing. For relaxation, the local beaches include Florida Point, a long, wide beach perfect for picnicking, which also offers free parking. Cotton Bayou has on-site toilets and showers, while Romar Beach is on the quieter side. If you are looking for peace and undisturbed lounging, head to this final option from your Orange Beach condo rental.

Art in Orange Beach

Take some time off from the beach and see work by local artists at the Coastal Arts Center on Canal Road. With a gallery, shop, and art courses for both adults and kids, those staying long-term at a nearby Orange Beach condo rental should definitely explore the options. Kids can go to seasonal summer camp, and for adults who want to get back in touch with their creativity, the arts center offers pottery lessons and hot glass demonstrations. Take home some souvenirs from the on-site store and support the local art community. Ask about the ongoing art festivals held annually.

Whether you've spent the day exploring local culture or lounging in the sun and sand, enjoy returning home to the comfort of your Orange Beach rental.
