Score 5.0 / 5

Gulf Shores is tourist friendly as long as you don't break laws and respect property. The area has a Dollar General. Some shops in the outlets of the area sell nachos, hotdogs, etc. Eat well at the seafood restaurants at night. I had Mikee's nd it was good to a non-seafood eater. The seafood was well prepared. The HangOut was friendly to the young and entertaining- even to us adults.
