We went last month for the first time and stayed in gulf shores, my kids 9yr old boy and twin7yr old girls loved it . We mostly hung out on the beach till we were hungry then went to eat. We hit all the tourist trap restaurants, kids liked the Hangout, they have a big sand hill and a foam party every hour. LuLu's has zip lines and an arcade. The wharf in orange beach has a nice Ferris wheel, movie theater, arcade, and laser tag. There's tons of mini golf, couple go kart tracks and I believe a trampoline park. We ate at a pizza joint called Poppa Rocco's that was really good and had more of a local vibe. Also ate at flora-bama yacht club, tacky jacks, and Lamberts (overwhelming amount of food). If you and your wife like beer there's a new brewery that's really nice called Big Beach Brewing CO.

He an outstanding with kids that age and will put you on the trout and reds.
I have fished with him three times in as many years with kids aged 3-12. Plenty of fish every time.
My crew loves "Cattin' Jay"
Tell him Brad Boone sent you.

FYI, Lambert's is cash only in case you didn't know. A lot of folks don't carry much cash on vacation any more.
We got our monthly newsletter yesterday and it noted that the park at OWA would be opening this Friday, the 21st. This is at the intersection of the Foley Beach Express and County Road 20. I am not sure exactly what all they built in to this park but we will be checking it out on our next trip in September.

Zip line place is cool for kids! Make a reservation a day in advance! Definately need to fish the surf, been there the last 5 years during July and always catch flounder and cow rays. The cow rays are worthless but they put up a hell of a fight on a 6 1/2" rod!! I love Orange Beach, white Fl sand with out Fl price!!

We're here this week, this make year 11 for us, we kind of like the place. No kiddos this year, but we always do much of the same thing. LuLus is a cool place, Tacky Jacks, Lambert if you want to feel absolutely miserable when you're done. Lillian's Pizza down past FlorBama is awesome. . We always stay a couple condos down from FlorBama which means it's within walking distance, which sometimes isn't good. Take the kiddos parasailing l, we do it every single year and always have a blast. We use Chute Em Up which is right beside Tacky Jacks in OB. Have fun!!
