We spent Labor Day Weekend at Gulf State Park, staying in a lakeside cabin and hanging out on the beach. The beach was beautiful with lots of shells and soft sand. The new pavillion area was clean and had convenient bathrooms and changing areas. Our second night, we went for a walk on the beach and stumbled upon a group... more

This is the most beautiful beach and area that I've ever visited! So much to do, plenty of great restaurants, golfing venues...etc I could go on and on. My wife and I plan on retiring to Gulf Shores and can't wait till we're able to. more

They have indeed rebult, at least the beach pavilion! Plenty of parking, no use fee, lots of shaded picnic tables on the pavilion, bathhouses that are a little better than expected, plus outdoor rinse off showers. Easy way to take a quick dip in the Gulf! more

I passed by Gulf State Park on a recent trip to the coast. All the guest cottages are destroyed as well as the Convention Center and the 825 ft pier. It appears that Hurricane Ivan took its toll and demolition was already underway. Hopefully the State of Alabama can find the funds necessary to rebuild as soon as possible and... more
