    Sunsets, Sangria and a Girlfriend Getaway in Orange Beach, Alabama

    Sunsets and sangria with your best girlfriends. If that sounds like the beginning of the perfect girlfriends getaway, then a trip to Alabama’s white-sand beaches should be on your calendar. Wondering how to plan the perfect girlfriend getaway? We have a few must-do activities and restaurants to suggest.

    • Fisher’s Upstairs at Orange Beach Marina. Every girl needs a reason to dress up now and then. Fisher’s Upstairs offers the perfect opportunity! Relaxed yet refined, you’ll love the comfortable, coastal setting – but you’ll love the specialty drinks and entrées even more. James Beard nominee Chef Bill Briand is the executive chef.
    • Flora-Bama. No girlfriend (or buddy) trip is complete without music and dancing at the famous Flora-Bama Lounge. Don’t worry about driving; there are several taxi companies nearby that offer fares as low as $5 a trip.
    • Spa. A trip to the spa is probably implied during a girlfriend getaway. Fusion Spa at The Wharf offers a suite of services, including massages, pedicures, manicures and salon services.
    • The Gulf. Fresh air, fresh food and fresh tunes. You’ll love the vibe at The Gulf. The restaurant is built from shipping containers, and all seating is outdoors with a view of Alabama Point. At night, relax on the sofas in the lounge area under white string lights or around a fire pit.
    • Sunset Sail. You didn’t think we’d leave it out, did you? Pack a cooler of your favorite drinks, whether it’s sangria, wine, champagne, sweet tea or bottled water. Find a spot on the catamaran’s trampoline and watch the sun melt away into the Gulf of Mexico.

    “We had a group of tween and teen girls when we traveled to Orange Beach and they all loved our Sail Wild Hearts experience. It is a must-do outing for kids of all ages, as well as adults. I tried paddle boarding for the first time and learned to love this new skill. The crew of Sail Wild Hearts is extremely professional and the cruise was amazing. We even spotted some dolphins!” -Jamie Reeves, Blonde Mom Blog. Read about Jamie’s time on Wild Hearts in her blog, Alabama Gulf Coast Family Adventure.

     

    “Sail Wild Hearts has everything that we enjoy from great music to dolphin watching. Taking this cruise is by far the best way to wind down your day, while enjoying a breathtaking Alabama coast sunset. Entertainment with the friendly staff is one of a kind, for example where else can you have an intimate hula hoop competition with the captain?” -Heather Boothman, A Brit and a Southerner.

    JenniferSikora“Sail Wild Hearts really showed me that they value me as a customer. They went over and above by making sure that my mother-in-law was able to get on the boat. She has a really hard time climbing stairs so they assured me they could get her on and off – and they did! Just them going the extra mile to make her comfortable and making sure she enjoyed her first-ever boat ride just blessed our family beyond measure.” -Jennifer Sikora, Jen Around the World.
