Greetings from Orange Beach, where 32-miles of pristine white-sand Gulf coastline dovetails with legendary Southern hospitality. Here you’ll find grand nature preserves and state parks, including the vast hiking trails of Gulf State Park and Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. You’ll also find excellent public beaches, championship golf, water adventure parks, fresh seafood eateries and of course, waterfront hotels known for showcasing golden-hued Alabama sunsets. In fact, the Gulf waters are the main draw at Orange Beach, and from adventure to simple relaxation, there’s surely something for everyone. So, grab your SPF and beach towel and gear up for fun in the sun. Although I don't have a permanent residence in Orange Beach, I visit often enough to have a clear view of the hotel scene, so I prepared a list of the best hotels in Orange Beach.
