"An overwhelming majority of people drive to our beautiful beaches from
the Southeast and Midwest," said Mike Foster, vice-president of the Alabama
Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We showcase a family-friendly
destination that offers a lot of things to see and do at reasonable prices."
Aside from being the closest beach (http://www.gulfshores.com) to Southern
metropolitans, such asBirmingham,Atlanta, andNashville, the Alabama Gulf
Coast offers 32 miles of sugar white sand and over 15,000 rooms. From "The
Little Zoo That Could" to a major summer concert series,Gulf Shores and
Orange Beach remains a favorite drive-to destination. Even though nearly 4.5
million people make the annual trek to the area, the Alabama Gulf Coast has
preserved its charming coastal atmosphere highlighted with a dash of Southern
hospitality.
Make life long memories while fishing aboard a chartered boat or from the
shores of Lake Shelby. Golfers must check out some of the area's nine
signature courses while the little ones live for an afternoon of putt-putt
golf. Ladies, pamper yourself with a much-needed shopping trip to the quaint
beachside boutiques or check out the large shopping complexes, such as Tanger
Outlet Center inFoley, AL.

Foster said. "And best of all, families don't have to spend a fortune in gas
to get here. Plus, they can save even more money by finding a great deal
