-- The City of Gulf Shores reports that the Alabama Gulf Coast attracts almost 8 million visitors per year. Not only are there beautiful white sand beaches in this area, but there's a small-town feel that's highly charming to visitors.
It's becoming more common for Americans to take staycations in the US rather than fly out to international destinations, and naturally, Southern Living has highlighted the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach as must-visit areas for these types of travelers. In particular, the publication recommended places to stay that provided comfort, style, sustainability, and more, and not only has Southern Living picked up on The Lodge at Gulf State Park's excellence, but so has USA Today.
One establishment that Southern Living showcased was The Lodge at Gulf State Park. As the name suggests, The Lodge is located along the Gulf Coast with 2 miles of unobstructed views, and it's right across the street from Gulf State Park.
Guests can access not only 28 miles of trails to bike or hike on, but also Lake Shelby to go paddleboarding or fishing, and an exclusive 2.5-mile beach to relax at (two motorized mobility chairs are available for rental if needed). The establishment has complimentary bike rentals (up to 3 hours), courtesy of the Bloom app.
In addition, there are numerous amenities to enjoy on the premises. There are two pools available: a family pool and a 21-and-over pool. This area is newly expanded, too, making it safe, comfortable, and fun for guests of all ages.
Guests can also benefit from four on-site dining outlets. Each dining option has its own bar, menu, and flair. The menus have dishes made from the freshest ingredients, such as Crispy Snapper Bites and Garlicky Shrimp Scampi.
Guests will be pleased with The Lodge's sustainability, too. The property is LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which means that it's been optimized for energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The property also meets the standards for SITES Platinum and FORTIFIED Commercial certifications.
Guests will find over six football fields of coastal dunes and native plant communities. Plus, 15% of all building materials are recycled materials and 70-75% of construction waste was recycled. The establishment also has a 35% reduction in water usage compared to a typical facility, and all lighting was designed with local wildlife in mind.
The Lodge at Gulf State Park is ideal for those looking for an extended weekend getaway from nearby areas, such as Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, or New Orleans. It offers a refreshing experience compared with other beachside hotels, as Southern Living and USA Today have acknowledged.
