Orange Beach area is a great area. We will be down there in a little over a week. It will be our 4th trip there this year.
Gulf State Park is great if you are staying there, lots of walking/biking trails. The beach is great, fishing should be good. On the way from MS, if you go the interstate, you can stop at Battleship park and see the USS Alabama from WW2, and some other military history.
Instead of the interstate, there is a Ferry you can take across Mobile Bay from Dauphin Island over to the eastern shore of the bay. On the Dauphin Island side is a Sea Lab with lots of ocean/fish/ecology exibits, on the Eastern shore, is Ft Morgan as civil war fort.
Fair Hope is a easy and nice drive up the eastern shore of the bay and is a cute little town if you like those.
Oct 13-15 is the Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores. Its fun if you like festivals.
Its a great area, normally it is not very crazy, the Shrimp Fest will be busy.
The Gulf State Park Pier is nice to walk out on even if not fishing, normally you can see fish cruising around, and it is free if you are staying at the state park campground.
