The Gulf – Orange Beach, ALBreathe Deep. Slow Down. Stay Awhile.
Hi there—welcome to The Gulf. Tucked along the water’s edge, we’re a place where time stretches out, and simple things feel special again. Built from reclaimed shipping containers and filled with fresh food, thoughtful touches, and ocean air, The Gulf isn’t just where you eat—it’s where you unwind.
We believe in catching fish and sunsets. In sipping something cold with your feet in the sand. In creating space for the people you love—and a little peace for yourself too.
Come gather around a picnic table, savor a perfect bite, and stay for one more story, one more view, one more breath.
We can’t wait to share this moment with you.
— All of us at The Gulf
Fresh Fun, Served Daily!
Famous for live music, The Hangout is the most fun you can have on the strand, with a touch of nostalgia, there’s something for all ages.
Games, dancing, music, contests & entertainment start in the morning and don’t stop until closing. The foam machine revs up & kids (even adult-sized) run amuck through an avalanche of foamy bubbles. There’s a gigantic sandbox, a fire pit, a giant shaka hand, a mermaid bar, vintage lunchboxes, rubber duckies, matchbox cars, Pez containers & a 15 foot wishing wall. We have hair braiding & henna tattoos. There is fun for everyone!
Adults mingle at the bar while grooving to live music from our outdoor stage. Big screen sports & a live DJ are daily attractions. Our large one stop gift shop is an attraction itself!
We have 20+ fun things to do! Our venue is lively & versatile, making it perfect for any occasion. The Hangout would be honored to coordinate all of the essential elements necessary for your event to exceed your expectations.
