Orange Beach Waterfront Park
If you’re in Orange Beach, Orange Beach Waterfront Park is the place to go for a long stroll with panoramic views. You’ll find parking and a pier jutting into Wolf Bay. The park also has a small stretch of beach that makes it easy to find a spot to get away where you can enjoy a private view (and maybe a sunset smooch).
Get A Front-Row Look
If you’re going for swoon-worthy, you need a sunset view that stuns. For a front-row view, rent a boat and take a sunset troll into the Gulf. With no land or buildings to impede your view, the sun will look bigger and closer as it sets just over the horizon (and you’ll get a better look at those amazing sunset colors).
To create some real ambiance, turn up the speakers on your vessel with some soothing sunset tunes! Since there’s no one around, you won’t need to worry about bothering other sunset-seekers.
