Gulf Shores Public Beach

The Gulf Shores Public Beach extends along the Gulf of Mexico with white quartz sand and designated swimming areas monitored by lifeguards during peak seasons.

The beach location transformed from a 1950s fishing settlement into a major coastal destination, attracting millions of visitors to the Alabama Gulf Coast.

The beach serves as a center for community events, water sports competitions, and social gatherings that connect local residents with seasonal tourists.

Eight access points, wheelchair-accessible mats, restrooms, outdoor showers, and parking facilities support visitors from March through October with lifeguard supervision.

The sand consists of pure white quartz crystals that traveled from the Appalachian Mountains through rivers over thousands of years.
