WIND DRIFT AMENITIES
Wind Drift isn't your typical Orange Beach property. This complex occupies one of the most coveted stretches on the Alabama coast—nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Old River, bordered by a state park to the west. Translation: unobstructed sunset views, uncrowded beaches, and a location you can't replicate.
The dual-waterfront setup means you're not choosing between beach life and boating access—you're getting both. First-come boat slips with direct river access across the street on Old River. A fishing pier where the catches are as good as the views. Trailer and watercraft storage for serious boaters. Two outdoor community pools with sundecks—one Gulf-front, one bayside. Tennis and pickleball courts for active guests.
ORANGE BEACH DINING & ATTRACTIONS
Orange Beach offers an exceptional dining scene within walking distance or a short drive. Local favorites include Flora-Bama Lounge for live music and legendary Bushwackers, The Gulf for waterfront dining in repurposed shipping containers, Zeke's Restaurant for fresh seafood, Doc's Seafood Shack for fried Gulf catches, Louisiana Lagniappe for upscale Creole cuisine, Cosmo's Restaurant for diverse menu options, GTs On The Bay for bayfront views, LuLu's for family-friendly atmosphere with entertainment, and The Hangout for beachfront casual dining.
Orange Beach has earned impressive national recognition. Condé Nast Traveler named it a top 10 beach in the United States for 2026. The Orange Beach Festival of Art won USA Today's #1 Best Arts Festival in the nation for 2025. The Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail earned the #1 Best Recreational Trail in the U.S. for three consecutive years (2023-2025). USA Today also recognized Orange Beach with #7 Best Small Town Food Scene in 2024.
