And even more beaches. This is a little further, just over an hours drive. But again, if you want to venture past Gulf Shores beach, and past Orange Beach, this is the next best and the next closest beaches. There is no need to go this far for a beach, but if you want to try a different beach every day... it is easy to do !!!

Something for everyone here. A well kept secret is their Happy Hour Appetizer menu...ask for it!! Just be sure to get there well before 6 pm as all Happy Hour Appetizer orders need to be ordered before 6 pm. MY favorites are .. well, all of them. From coconut fried shrimp (HUGE app sizes!) , to the spinach dip, and of course the baked brie . You can have dinner on apps and try a lot of wonderful things . Their Sunday brunch is amazing as well and a real treat!! All the food here is amazing and original
