Restaurant Review

The one thing we have a whole lot of down here is seafood. I know with all the restaurants, it's hard to pick out the best ones so don't worry I'll let you know which is the best one on the beach, in town, and which one has the best atmosphere. If your looking for an absolutely gorgeous beach view and some top of the line food and service, I would recommend Bahama Bob's. It's on beach road right by Phoenix All Suites Hotel. It's so nice because you can walk on the beach while waiting for your food. Also, on Canal Rd right when you turn off Hwy. 161 (by the Flamingo's) there's this little place across the street called Doc's. When locals are asked which seafood restaurant is their favorite, about 99.9% of the time they say Doc's. It's small, but when you go just remember looks aren't everything! Finally, the restaurant that has the best atmosphere and pretty good food I would say Lulu's. Jimmy Buffet's sister owns the restaurant and you turn right when your coming over the Gulf Shores bridge, like you would be going to the track. Go early if you want to go and it's a weekend night because they don't take reservations and the place fills up quick! Until next time, hope your vacation goes great!

Yoga at the Beach!!

Looking to get your yoga fix on your vacation? Well don't worry we have plenty of places down here that teach and give yoga classes.One of the places is the Original David's Counter Culture. You can find it on 59 just a couple miles north from our friends at the Hangout, it'll be on the left. Another place to go is the Orange Beach Rec center. Turn right off 161 onto Canal Road and drive a couple miles down and you'll see it on the left. I'm not sure when about the class times, check their website for the most up to date information and class times. The rec center also has Tai Chi, aerobics and a lot of other fun classes so I hope ya'll check them out!

Great Breakfast Spots

If you're looking for some really great breakfast places, but don't want to go to Waffle House, we've got some of the best down here. There's Duck's Diner that's located on Canal Road in Orange Beach. It's on the right when your going towards Gulf Shores, right behind the Brusters and in front of the golf course. But make sure you go before 2:00PM, because that's when they close. Then, on Hwy. 161, if you're going towards Canal Road, turn right on Marina Road and keep going and then on the right will be Tacky Jack's. It's not only a good place for breakfast, but lunch and dinner too. These are just a couple of my favorites that have guaranteed goodness! I hope you check out these great places and don't waste the opportunity, see ya soon!

Spring Break 2009

Its that time again! For the younger crowd and possibly older, Widespread Panic is doing a 3 day concert at the Wharf again! The dates are Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19th. You can buy your tickets on Ticketmaster. Its an oppurtunity I wouldn't pass up if I was visiting down here, its very interesting because in 2008 Widespread Panic was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. But if you're looking for something a little more quiet and low-key, there's always the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. It's located about eight miles down Fort Morgan with 6,000 acres of nature, hiking trails, beach, and a good chance of spotting gators in Gator Lake. And of course, I'll give you the link below so you can check out the website yourself and get a little more information. I worked at a marina last summer, and I realized that some tourists that come down here have never had the chance to see ocean wildlife, even a jellyfish! So if your wanting more exposure to ocean life, try out the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. It's about an hour away, but it has a public aquarium and it focuses solely on the wildlife that you can find at our beaches. I'll give you the link to that too! Hope your vacation goes great, I'll be back with more things to do soon.

Dolphins & Scoops

One thing I love about living down here is the wildlife. Sometimes, when your out at the beach or even on your balcony, you can see sting rays and sometimes dolphins swimming around. But if you want a real close up, we have Dolphin Cruises! They have glass bottom boats, which is really cool because you can see all sorts of wildlife, not just dolphins. And when you get off your "cruise" they give you a coupon for buy one scoop, get one scoop free at Brusters, where the ice cream and waffle cones are homemade! Brusters is right off of Canal, your really can't miss it, Coco Island is a huge building right behind it. Anyway, I hope ya'll check out the Dolphin Cruise, and until next time, I'll talk to you later.
