Question
Hi Leslie -

We will be staying in Daphne, AL over Memorial Day weekend and want to spend time at the beaches.  Do you have any suggestions as to which beach area we should access?  We are looking for something that is more out the way and perhaps avoid the crowds.

Thank you!

Sarah  

Answer
Hi Sarah:

I have not been to the Gulf Shores area since the hurricanes. However, normally Orange Beach is a little less crowded than Gulf Shores. When you get to Gulf Shores, go about 5-10 miles down the road toward Florida.

Let me know if you need more information.
