By: Мike Jukov

##LINKXL## Between the soft white sand, the clear pristine water, the sound of the waves hitting the shore and the warm summer weather, the Alabama Gulf Coast is a truly magical getaway. Miles of sandy white beaches, golf courses and nature parks line the coast. From fishing to bird watching, golfing to simply lounging on the beach there is something for everyone on Alabama's Gulf Coast.
Fishing opportunities abound both inshore and offshore. Almost any beach along the coast is offers plenty of opportunity to fish, however the Lake Shelby Recreation Area (part of the Gulf State Park) and the Gulf State Park Pavilion are both especially distinguished fishing destinations. The Lake Shelby Recreation Area is a popular boating, water skiing, swimming and picnicking destination and therefore is not especially private. For solitude, the Gulf State Park Pavilion Area is a better match. Many marinas along the coast off sport fishing day excursions.
When it comes time to hit the beach, the Alabama Gulf Coast has an array of options. The Gulf Shores Public beach is a beach buzzing with action and is equipped with all facilities and a bar and volleyball courts. This beach is not as private, natural and pristine as other beaches but is great for someone who is looking for a social beach scene. Other predominant beaches are the Florida Point Beach and the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Beach. The Florida Point Beach is part of the Gulf State Park and is a 6,000 foot beach equipped with boardwalks, picnic areas, restrooms, outdoor showers, free parking, and is scattered with sand dunes. The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge beach does not offer any facilities due to it designation as a nature refuge. The trail to the beach is about two miles and winds through forests filled with wildlife and frames small lagoons. This trail and beach combo is a bird watcher's paradise. A ridge of sand dunes divides the beach from the trail and forest.
Last but not least, aside from beach-going and wildlife watching, the Alabama Gulf Coast is also a popular golf destination. Scattered with golf courses, the coast is a golf lover's delight. The sandy terrain and seaside views have drawn top notch course designers to the Gulf Shores. Many feel it is one of the best secret golf destinations.
