WHAT TO DO ON VACATION THAT’S FREE OR INEXPENSIVE

Exploring all that Orange Beach offers is a great way to make memories with those you love most. However, you don’t have to spend a ton of money to enjoy thrilling adventures.

• Soak in the sunshine one the miles of sugar-white sand beaches found throughout town. Spend your day swimming, looking for shells, making a sandcastle, or watching the sunset.
• The Orange Beach Indian & Sea Museum, which has free admission, helps tell the history of Native Americans and the fishing industry. The museum is located in an old schoolhouse that was built in 1910.
• Stop into the Coastal Arts Center to browse pieces of work made by local artists. With a glass blowing and pottery studio on-site, you can also see free demonstrations.
• While not free, admission to Historic Fort Morgan is relatively inexpensive. Wander the tunnels, barracks, museum, and more found on the historic grounds that played a role in the Battle of Mobile Bay.
• For some time outdoors, hit up part of the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail. Made up of seven trails that equal more than 15 miles, a portion of the trail makes its way through Orange Beach.
