Emerald
green water and sugar white sand has been Gulf
Shores, Alabama's welcome mat since it was first
discovered. Centuries later, visitors are still
amazed that the beauty surpasses the descriptions
they've heard.
Tourists
take samples back home in zip-lock bags and officials bring
buckets full of our sand to conventions. There's no substitute
for standing ankle deep in the breaking surf to fully experience
the colors, textures, and sounds that make Gulf Shores, Alabama
astounding.
Part
of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Gulf Shores is known
for its rolling sand dunes that look solid but are in a constant
state of change. They are made of lighter grains of sand blown
onto the barrier island by offshore winds.
Typical
of Gulf Shores are pristine white beaches, teal green waters,
sea oats swaying in the breeze, and breathtaking sunsets.
