Gulf Shores State Park was amazing! Miles of new wooden raised walkways that allow you to bike, run or walk over the entire park! They travel over the marsh, water-ways, pond and give you two direct access paths to the Gulf of Mexico! One access is the fishing pier and the other is a state beach. The park provides both pull-thru and back-in sites making easy access for big rigs. Tip- get the water front pull through sites that are directly on the inlets. They have shade, grass and awesome fishing or canoeing opportunities. The park has a big water front dog park with a beach and obstacles for the dogs, several large lakes, nature center, large (clean) swimming pool, Gulf of Mexico access to beaches and fishing... This is a super place to stay!! Also- we ate at the coolest place ever called THE HANGOUT. Pictures cannot capture the atmosphere there. Would recommend everyone go here at least once.
