Date Night Ideas
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Find the perfect vacation date night in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, whether it means bringing the kids or leaving them at home.
It’s travel ball season, and honestly, the last time you even thought about a date night was when you got to sit at your own table while the team celebrated a victory at the local pizza restaurant.
You deserve a night on your own – or at least an evening with just your family. Don’t worry. We have you covered! We have mapped out some great date-night ideas for your next sportcation in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
Date-Night Options
Did you find a family friend to watch the kids for a couple of hours during your trip? Yay! Below are some suggestions for making the most of the limited time you have alone with your significant other.
Looking to get dressed up for an evening of fun? A wine-and-dine night is extra-special when visiting coastal Alabama. Ditch the sports attire and head to Voyagers at Perdido Beach Resort, Cosmo’s Restaurant & Bar, Ginny Lane Bar & Grill at The Wharf, or Cobalt the Restaurant.
Choose to savor an amazing dinner and delicious drinks at any of these restaurants, and you’ll have created a wonderful parents’ night on the town!
Prefer a more casual evening? Dine at Sea-N-Suds, which sits over the sand and offers some of the best views of the Gulf Shores sunset. You may even see dolphins jumping in the water or a sailboat floating by. After dinner, enjoy a romantic walk on the beach. Or grab a bite to eat at Flora-Bama Old River Grill and then walk right across the street to Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar for live music and a delicious bushwhacker!
Only a few minutes without the kiddos? Swing through Beach Girls Coffee, Gulf Shore's only drive-through coffee shop that serves freshly roasted coffee, where every drink is prepared to your specifications and guaranteed to be a much-deserved treat for you and your other half!
Kid-Friendly Dining
Not everyone gets to enjoy the luxury of a traveling babysitter, so we’ve highlighted these kid-friendly date-night activities that will have you swooning over a great meal and an even better view.
Kid-friendly restaurants offering bar drinks and a little fun for the adults are a great way to compromise. Places like the Tacky Jacks, The Hangout, LuLu’s, and GTs on The Bay offer large play areas for the kids. Each provides plenty of picnic tables and chairs for the adults to sit and enjoy an evening mostly to themselves while the kids have a blast. Check out each of their websites for their live music and entertainment lineup.
Searching for a little more peace and quiet after a long day of sports? Set up a picnic under the bleachers or in a grassy area at the park, or enjoy the views at Gulf State Park or one of its public beach areas. With so many amazing outdoor places along our coast, you can easily enjoy the fresh air while sharing dinnertime with your loved ones.
