Independence Day Street Party
July 01
Independence Day is just around the corner! Join the festivities on July 6th from 5 pm to 9 pm at The Wharf in what is known as the biggest street party on the Gulf Coast. It’s guaranteed to be a night to remember.
Wave your complimentary American flag proudly while the sun sets on the horizon. Then dance to live music along the iconic row of palm trees decorated in red, white, and blue. Bring the entire family because there is something for everyone. Camel rides, a petting zoo, a surf simulator, and more will keep your little ones entertained. Watch as they spend the afternoon jumping on trampolines or playing in the bubble zone. At 8:30 pm meander over to Main Street to claim a prime firework viewing spot. At 9:00 pm, the sky will be set ablaze. If you feel like continuing the celebration, linger after the display for a patriotic Spectra Sound and Light Show that will illuminate the palms.

Speed around the motorway in go-carts, let the kids work off some energy at the bumper boats, and dodge lights at laser tag. Reconnect as a family at 18-hole mini golf, day or night, and try the unique Coconut Climb attraction to test your physical limits. See who can scream the loudest at the Max Flight Roller Coaster Simulator. Finally, be sure to check out the Giant Volcano. This five-story mock volcano comes to life with an eruption of sound, steam, and flame, making it a spectacle to behold. Check out their website for more information on your next family outing.

Roam the Backcountry on the Branyon Trail
May 06
All it takes is a quick look out your window to realize that the Hotel Indigo Orange Beach is surrounded by natural beauty. You’d have to look a little harder, though, to see beyond the beach. Thankfully, that’s easy enough.
Established in 2003, the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail is comprised of over 15 miles of interconnected paths. Eight distinct routes wind through six different ecosystems, giving visitors a glimpse of Gulf Shores’ stunning biodiversity. White-tailed deer, bobcats, otters, and alligators share space in this preserve, and over 100 species of bird own the skies. As more people visited, more saw how special this trail complex is: It was designated a National Recreational Trail in 2010, and was recently recognized as an Alabama Coastal Birding Trail. The best part? The trailhead for the 1.75-mile Rosemary Dune hike is a minute’s walk from our front door.
