You might want to boat or kayak to Tacky Jack's or the Flora-Bama Yacht Club for breakfast, lunch, or dinner & live music. Pirate's Cove is another fun favorite on the water, along with Cobalt at The Pass, Zeke's Landing on Cotton Bayou, OSO at Bear Point Marina, The Tiki at Sportsman Marina, & The Oyster Bar in Perdido Key.

About the host
Hosted by Betsy Reaves
My name is Betsy Reaves, and I help my mother and aunt manage their Dolphin Harbor condo in Orange Beach, AL. I am originally from Montgomery, AL and have lived in Auburn, AL for the last 24 years while teaching and taking care of my family. I grew up going to Orange Beach as a child, when my grandfather had a house on Terry Cove, back when OB was just a simple but fun fishing town, and have many fond memories of those days! I later lived in Orange Beach during the summers of my college years, and now, we are really enjoying the Ole River area where we have access to not only the bays and Robinson/Bird Islands but also the deeded, private beach access that is conveniently just across the street. We hope you visit and enjoy our beach getaway and make it your go-to vacation spot in the future!
