Summer may be over, but that doesn’t mean the fun ends at the beach! Plan a visit this fall and enjoy the lower humidity and smaller crowds!

For the food and drink lovers:

National Shrimp Festival – Enjoy free admission to this exciting four-day festival where you will find live music, arts and crafts, and lots of mouthwatering food!

Oyster Cook-off and Craft Beer Weekend at The Hangout – Spend a weekend sampling oysters from dozens of chefs from across the country, tasting dozens of craft beers, and enjoying live music.

For the sports enthusiasts:

Kaiser Coastal Half Marathon, 5K and One Mile Run – Select from a one-mile fun run, a 5K run or a half marathon on scenic, paved trails, then stay for the post-race party at the Orange Beach Sportsplex.

Wild and Wicked Beach Bash – Don a Halloween costume and participate in this “horrifyingly fun” event featuring a Haunted Hustle 5K, Witches on Wheels, and live music.

For the whole family:

Dolphins & Blue Angels Sail – This cruise treats you to an extended cruising time, allowing for a wealth of opportunities to view dolphins in the gulf waters. But when the sailboat drops anchor in the waters of Pensacola, Florida, you know it’s time to watch the skies for the Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy’s precision flying team.
