We Know the Secrets to an Unforgettable Mom’s Getaway to Gulf Shores!

Lounge on the Beach 

Gulf Shores is home to the best beaches on the Alabama Gulf Coast. These white-sand beaches and sparkling blue waters have so much to offer. If you want an undisturbed beach day away from the crowds, you’ve come to the perfect place! Gulf Shores beaches are ideal for curling up on the sand with your favorite book and taking in the serene shoreline for as long as you’d like. Oh, and the best part? While you unwind by the shore, your kids will be safe and very entertained at any of the local summer camps or  youth programs. 

Shop ‘til You Drop! 

No vacation is complete without a shopping trip! Whether you’re looking to add a new special piece to your closet, or need something cute for a night out, you’re going to find it here! Gulf Shores has shopping for all tastes. If you’re on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind item, we recommend popping into a local boutique. If you prefer getting a deal on the trendiest looks, stop by any of the local shopping districts or the popular Tanger Outlets in Foley, Alabama.
