Remember your childhood vacations? The best memories probably come from the simple treasures of spending time together as a family. Time building sandcastles, searching for shells, watching sunsets, racing the waves at the beach.

This summer build some great vacation memories with your children.

Grillin' up some

Fun Summer vacations just seem to call for a picnic complete with burgers and hot dogs. And at Gulf Shores Plantation, we make it easy for you to enjoy the tradition. We have charcoal grills and picnic tables available for our guests. And since you are on the coast, add some fresh local shrimp and fish to the menu.

Horseshoes

Leave the video games behind and gather the family for a game of horseshoes. Pretty soon the competitive spirit will kick in and everyone will be working on their strategy for the perfect ringer.
