20. Gulf Shores Public Beach
Serving as the vibrant heartbeat of Alabama’s coastline, Gulf Shores Public Beach is the state’s premier seaside destination. The revitalized public beach features miles of blindingly bright, sugar-white quartz sand that squeaks underfoot, leading into exceptionally warm, emerald Gulf waters. The space is incredibly lively and perfectly designed for recreation, featuring beach volleyball courts, shaded pavilions, wide green spaces, and a palm-lined promenade. It offers the ideal balance of a relaxing shoreline and high-energy entertainment just steps away from the crashing waves.
