7) Gulf Shores, Alabama
Located at the Florida and Alabama border, Gulf Shores, Alabama, offers spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico along with full service resorts and the storybook southern hospitality you’re always hearing about. If you’re coming for a vacation, stay at one of the towering hotels along the coastline and you’re going to love the view, especially if you’re lucky enough to have a balcony. There’s nothing quite like an unobstructed view of the ocean.
If you want to venture inland, take a daytrip to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. However, if the ocean is where it’s at for you, there are always cruises, dolphin watching and good old fashion laying out beneath the sun and catching some rays.
