I have family living in Orange Beach, Alabama and have visited them during road trips across the country. During my visits, I have found this to be a wonderful destination, perfect for chill beach vacations, dining experiences, dolphin sightings, and fishing excursions. This somewhat off-the-radar coastal city has white-sand beaches and neighbors Gulf Shores, another top beach destination in Alabama worth visiting if you want to soak up the sand, surf, and sun on a relaxing getaway.
