Orange Beach is a beach town just east of Gulf Shores, near the Florida border (Perdido Key). The white sand beach faces south on the Gulf of Mexico. Orange Beach is slightly more upscale than Gulf Shores with luxury condominiums and marinas. The spot offers the same conditions as Gulf Shores — moderate Gulf waves and white sand. The town is also known for deep-sea sport fishing. Perdido Pass (inlet) to the west creates currents and interesting conditions for experienced riders.
Open all year round
