A Gulf Shores classic that has been around since the early 80s. Solid food and some nice stores you can shop at while you wait for your table. Beware it is very popular and there can be a wait.

Great views and seafood at a laid back Gulf Shores institution that sits right on the beach! It is a little hidden (as it sits behind a condo building on the beach), but it is a great place to unwind and eat some shrimp!

City/town information
Fairhope is a great, small town about 45 minutes from the condo. It is a fun way to spend a day, looking at the downtown shops and cool restaurants and walking the park at Mobile Bay.
