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.

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.

"I use this place a lot when I travel to go on fishing trips. Not a fancy type place but a good safe friendly place to stay for a few days. Staff has always been friendly and helpful, especially Ms. Ray over the breakfast. She does her best to keep everything full even when extremely busy. Ms.Ray always helps start my days off in an excellent mood when I'm greeted with her amazing smile and up beat attitude."
