Restaurants in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach all close around 9:00 pm ,so you want to be at your chosen food destination by 7:00 or 7:30 pm at the latest. The Wharf is no exception. I think that the Ferris wheel operates until 10:00pm but all of the restaurants and shops are closed at 9:00pm. Not a lot of night life in OB and GS , but there is a lot to do. There's a car lot that specializes in old school muscle cars, classic cars , and cars that were produced in limited numbers that might be worth checking out in Gulf Shores. I believe that it's called "Gulf Shores Motors" or something like that. If it's still there, it's right off of Gulf Shores Parkway

@@WeekendsWithStacy in the early 1960’s money was being raised to move the Alabama from the west coast to Mobile. School children, including me, donated recess $$ to that fund. So I guess that makes me a charter member of the US Alabama “Fan Club”.

If anyone takes a vacation in February, never miss Mardi gras in mobile. It's the most fun of anything. I've never met a mean person at Mardi gras mobile. Very family oriented and it's a fun time for ALL to have. We drive 6 hours every Feb just to go to the parades. You can't go wrong. It's about 30 min drive from Gulf shores! Their community really works hard to come together for families near and far! Also, they have the best foods at Mardi gras. We pay 10 bucks parking on Claiborne drive , right across the street from the BACKside of art gallery. You can't beat it. Sometimes they have 4 plus parades in one day. Stay all day and enjoy the most fun of all. Very safe too! Police even have 24 7 smiles on every corner. Some people bring a canopy and their own grill. Some just take a cooler full of spicy crawfish , buttery potatoes and corn.. polish sausages. (we do that) Bring baby wipes but there bathroom porta.. are just about on every corner. Hand sanitizer has never been empty for us. They have a giant outdoor stadium with big groups come in. Nelly was there one year and this year it was counting crowes band. This is all FREE stuff too. Other than food and souvenirs.. Bring your own food and it's all free. Oh and the parking of course. If you park in ones of those parking areas like Claiborne.. you only have a few feet to walk up to the barricades for full time parade fun! Don't forget to bring bags for your beads and souvenirs that the floats throw. They throw giant stuffed animals, moon pies of every flavor, Mardi gras cups and so much more to mention. We usually dump our bags into our trunk in a larger bag in between parades. They fill up fast. Kiddos of all ages with laughter and excitement!! You'll see beautiful ball dresses and long tail tucks throughout the night. Even the ones who had too much to drink are super nice. Lol Don't forget to load trunk with fold out chairs because you'll wanna walk up to barricades a bit early to get you a good spot.
