Morgantown

Morgantown wraps you in Gulf Shore beauty with long stretches of pristine beach just waiting for your footprints. History buffs can geek out at Fort Morgan, a 19th-century military fort where Civil War stories come alive between those weathered brick walls. Nature lovers hit the jackpot at Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge, where sea turtles nest and migratory birds put on quite the show. You'll want a rental car to properly explore this laid-back coastal area. Fresh seafood shacks serve up just-caught Gulf treasures, while beach houses and condos with private beach access make the perfect home base. The peaceful vibe here feels worlds away from more touristy spots, especially during the golden hour when the sunset paints everything in warm light.

Gulf Shores and related destinations

Barefoot on sugar-white beaches, you'll wonder why Florida gets all the attention when Alabama's Gulf Coast offers this pristine paradise. Dolphins play offshore while pelicans dive dramatically for their lunch. Gulf State Park combines beaches with wilderness trails where you might spot alligators sunning themselves. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo lets you get surprisingly close to lemurs and kangaroos. After sunset, seafood restaurants serve shrimp fresh off the boats while local musicians provide the soundtrack. Orange Beach offers a quieter alternative when the main beaches fill with families. Waterville USA provides water slides when you've had enough salt water, though locals insist the real fun happens on deep-sea fishing charters.

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gulf Shores Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at this property for a conference. The support staff was extremely attentive to details to make sure all attendees stayed comfortable and enjoyed their time there. The front desk staff was very friendly and fun to converse with. The breakfast staff was personable and kind, making sure everything was up to par and satisfactory. My only complaint was the bedding had an odor, the floor was dirty (I remove my shoes upon entering), and I found a pretzel from a previous guest on the floor next to the bed. Staff gets 5/5 stars from me, but the cleaning could use just a little improvement."
