Plan Your Sportscation
On Alabama's Beaches
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach hosts hundreds of sporting events annually, drawing many travelers for just the competitions alone. Since there is plenty to keep you busy while you’re here (or intentionally un-busy, if that’s more your thing), it’s never too early to start arranging your trips for next year!
Plan to Stay
Condos can fill up quickly, so the earlier you look for your ideal spot, the more likely you are to find something that checks all your boxes. Gulf-front views? Check. Lazy river? Check. Room to sleep the whole team? You can find that, too. Just make sure you book directly with our lodging partners. For those who return annually for their games, it’s not unheard of to book the same condo or house for the next year, even before checking out. Returning to the same place year after year resonates with many of our guests and establishes a fun family tradition. We’d love for you to consider Gulf Shores and Orange Beach as your home away from home by booking with our lodging sponsors.
Plan for Play
It goes without saying that you want to be sure you’re registered for your sports event and have received all the details ahead of time. So when you’re the one in charge, you’ll be relieved to know that Gulf Shores | Orange Beach Sports & Events offers several services to plan and market your event. Get started by taking a look at our numerous sports facilities and signing up for our Sports email newsletter to stay up to date on what we’re offering. Our handy Planner Toolkit will help you promote your event, so feel free to reach out and connect when you’re ready to start planning!
Plan for Food
Our vetted GSOB Sports & Events restaurant sponsors offer everything from on-the-go dining to team-friendly, in-restaurant seating. Need guidance for picky eaters and/or those with dietary restrictions? We can help meet everyone’s needs. With so many delicious options, you’ll want to browse ahead of time to determine which restaurants are a must-visit. But be warned: This is not an easy task when the delicious food and the breathtaking views are this competitive!
Plan for Fun
Last but certainly not least, you’ll want to plan some informal activities for your team. Consider experiencing aquatic life via a deep-sea fishing trip, enjoying the adrenaline rush from riding waterslides, parasailing and rollercoasters, or discovering great shopping. You can easily fill your days with all kinds of new experiences.
It’s never too early to start planning your spring sportcation – and we’re here to make it a breeze!
