Tailgate Beachside
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
What’s better than tailgating outside your favorite college or pro football stadium? An away-game tailgate on the white-sand beaches of Alabama, of course!
The beach is a fun and relaxing place to hang out with your home team as you prepare to watch the big game. It’s also an excellent alternative for those fans who prefer to watch the television broadcast with their friends and family instead of in a crowded stadium.
Show your team spirit by bringing out beach chairs, umbrellas and towels displaying your team logo. Have your own pre-game warmup with a friendly competition of sand football or relax to the sound of the waves.
Once it’s time for kick-off, watch the big game in the comfort of your beach condo or house, or cheer with fellow football fans at a local hot spot, like The Hangout, Moe’s Original Bar B Que, LuLu’s, or Luna’s Eat & Drink. Check our dining sponsor list for a great selection of beachside eateries.
College football Saturdays will tie in with some significant fall events hosted by Gulf Shores | Orange Beach Sports & Events, making for a guaranteed action-packed weekend! Watching your football team play is a fantastic way to warm up or wind down from the day’s festivities.
The fall season also means smaller crowds and shorter lines at area restaurants and attractions. You’ll have time left on the play clock to enjoy some downtime, whether it’s fishing, golfing, shopping, or just lounging on the beach.
With off-season lodging rates, you may even want to extend your tailgating weekend by a day or two. It’s a great time to break for the white-sand beaches. Some rental companies offer additional discounts to draw people to the beach after the peak summer season.
Will you experience a different type of tailgating on Alabama’s beaches this football season?
