About Orange Beach, Alabama

Orange Beach sits on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. It’s perhaps one of the best known water sports hubs in the region, with plenty of options to enjoy. Waterfront Park offers a fishing pier right on Wolf Bay. There are also a number of museums and historical areas to visit. As a result of this and the beautiful beaches, the city is very much a tourism-focused area. While many come for the white sand beaches, there is lots to do inland as well. That includes fantastic golf courses, shopping, and restaurants. 

Spanning 16 square miles and home to around 6,100 people, Orange Beach maintains its small town charm, especially with the access to The Backcountry Trail that winds all the way from the Gulf Shores, a nearby city. The Backcountry Trail is highly diverse and home to six distinct ecosystems. For those that want to see otters, wild boar, numerous types of birds, and perhaps even a few alligators, this is where you’ll find it.

Orange Beach is humid with its subtropical climate, but that makes for long, warm days even into the winter months. For those that plan to visit in the cooler months, many of the area’s attractions and amenities remain available. 

It’s also important to note that Orange Beach is a popular destination for sporting events and tournaments. Much of this happens at the Orange Beach Sportsplex in Gulf State Park. It features a football and soccer station with enough room for about 1,500 people. There are also several baseball and softball fields in the area. Tournaments happen throughout the year. 

Orange Beach Islands is an area that is home to Bird Island, Gilchrist Island, Robinson Island, and Walker Island and is a central entertainment district in the area. Each of these islands is just minutes from each other and are accessible by kayak, paddleboard, jet ski, or boat. Walking isn’t an option due to the underlying currents in the area.
