5 Family Activities for Your Workation
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
When planning a meeting at the beach, you may create more excitement and gain more attendees by inviting them to bring their families along.
Although your guests are there to attend a meeting, it’s important to schedule some downtime to spend with their families (and friends, plus ones or by themselves). A major plus to hosting your meeting at the beach is the long list of activities that are great fun for all ages. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach offer many adventures, but we have compiled a list of just a few to get you started.
Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo
