Free Activities

Let’s face it: summer jobs for vacationing students just don’t pay that well. On top of that, I’m trying to save some money to put toward a car. So there just isn’t much left over for recreation.

Luckily, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer lots of activities that don’t cost anything. Hands down, the beaches alone are a great place to just hang out, walk around, sun bathe, play a little beach volleyball…whatever. It never gets old. And I’ve mentioned before how I like nature—the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry trail is an awesome hiking/biking trail. And if you like history (one of my favorite subjects), there are tons of places to visit: the Gulf Shores Museum is pretty neat, and the Civil War Trail combines nature and history.

If you need more ideas, Brett/Robinson provides an excellent “Free and Fabulous” itinerary. Check it out here.
