I’ll just add a few of the many fantastic restaurants and seafood markets near Foley.
If you want to prepare a great fish or shrimp dinner at home, Billy’s has the best fresh seafood.

Golf

I’m an avid golfer and come here every winter to play. There are many to choose from, but some of my favorites are Kiva Dunes, Peninsula, Craft Farms, Rock Creek and all the RTJ courses.
Peninsula Golf Course is one of the nicest in Gulf Shores.

City advice

Getting around

Beach access…

Takes about 20 minutes down 59 to Gulf Shores Beach. Take the Foley Beach expressway to Orange Beach. Best to go early, before 10 am to beat the traffic and park.
