If you need some "me time" at an Alabama beach without the touristy crowds, then look no further. Gulf Shores features opportunities for relaxing at the beach without rubbing elbows with too many people, even during peak hours. The city is also a must-visit location, especially during events like the Hangout Music Festival and the National Shrimp Festival. Waterville USA, on the other hand, is a unique amusement park that offers a highly diverse menu of fun-filled attractions ranging from water park slides to go-karts and dune racers. For the outdoorsy types, Gulf State Park offers Segway and bike rental options.
