No trip to the Alabama Gulf Coast is complete without a fun-filled excursion on the water. Boating in Gulf Shores is a treasured activity amongst locals and tourists alike, and there’s no better way to explore the area. Whether you want to go fishing, tubing, or investigating islands in the back bays, you’re in for a blast when you go boating in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan.
