Things to do on the Gulf Coast

The Gulf Coast is full of things to do, from relaxing on sugar-white beaches to discovering unforgettable adventures. Perdido Key, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Pensacola each offer their own mix of outdoor activities, local attractions, and family fun. Spot dolphins on a cruise, reel in a deep-sea catch, try surfing the waves, or explore State Parks and the Gulf Islands National Seashore—home to osprey, sea turtles, and miles of trails.

When it’s time to take a break from the sun, head to the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum, catch the Blue Angels soaring overhead, or enjoy fresh Gulf Coast seafood at waterfront restaurants. Festivals, shopping, and live entertainment make every trip memorable.

From water sports and nature escapes to museums and dining, the Gulf Coast has endless things to do for every traveler. Explore our area guide to plan your perfect getaway with Pointe South.
