GULF STATE PARK, GULF SHORES AL

The dog can swim in the lake by the zip line. On one sign post there are 3 signs.
Swim at your own risk
No life guard on duty and
Don't aggravate the alligators.

I don't think it's a bad place to stop if your just passing thru. We stay a couple days to rest, not much else to do except go catch a roll and we have never done that.

Stayed there several times but it's been awhile. I roam around TX, LA, MS, AL & GA quite a bit. Gulf Shores is ok but I can't say it's too high on my list for that area. I wouldn't avoid a stop there but I wouldn't go out of my way either. The hurricane a few years back really hurt.

They don't allow you to feed or aggravate the alligators...that includes walking your dog at night or allowing them outside. We had two visit while I was barbquing, (sp) and my dog wouldn't back down. After the second night we left.

You do realize you are NOT on the ocean. The park surrounds several small canals that run inland. The ocean is several miles away by car...Dennis

We stayed there for a week in March one year. Weather was warm that year but no one was swimming in the ocean. We like the c.g. and would love to go back. It is somewhat of a hassle to get a site, but worth all the aggravation.

What do you want to know.
Have you googled Gulf Shores S.P. - there are lots of people on this forum who go there.

We stay at Gulf Breeze resort on county road #6 off Hwy 59. We have been told the prices at State park keep going up.
