The PERFECT Location
We are conveniently located in West Beach - known for its laid back atmosphere and low density beaches. Grab the provided beach wagon, chairs, and umbrella and take a 4 min walk to the crystal-clear waters and sugar-white sands. Head 10 min the other way to Little Lagoon Pass Park, complete with a wide walking path, fishing piers, and shallow sand bars.
Need some food or drinks? We are a 10-minute walk from some local favorites!
** THE BEACH HOUSE ** features a variety of Gulf seafood, quality American cuisine and carefully crafted cocktails. Great happy hour specials!
** S&S SEAFOOD MARKET ** offers fresh, local seafood. Take it home raw, cooked your way to go, or try one of their specialties - smoked tuna dip is a fan favorite!
** ISLAND ICE CREAM ** showcases mason jar sundaes, milkshakes, shaved ice, and over 40 flavor options of ice cream. The best place for ice cream on the island!
** WAVES ** offers a one-stop shop for any last minute items you may need - beach gear, fishing bait, ice, adult beverages, snacks and grocery essentials. Waves has got you covered!
Full grocery store options include Rouses Market (3.5 miles) and Walmart Supercenter (3.6 miles). We are also a short drive from the Gulf Shores Sports Complex if that's what brings you to town.
