Alabama Beach Bum Run

Sandy, silly, and downright surprising stops along Alabama's Gulf Coast.

Alabama's Gulf Coast is more than sugar-white sand and salty air, it's home to giant spiders, backwoods trolls, a mermaid rising from the bay, and bars where the floor is sand and the vibe is pure Gulf Shores. This collection strings together stops between Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan, from historic forts to roadside oddities to the kind of beach bar you plan a whole trip around. Whether you're chasing sunsets, seafood, or just something delightfully strange to photograph, this run has a little bit of everything. Best enjoyed slow, with sandy feet and zero rush.
