Great place to "snow bird" during cold winter up north. Some places are gone but others have sprung up, don't miss Gulf Shores State Park
You're videos are amazing, and I appreciate all the extra info you put into the description area as well. Thank you
Thankyou Turnip Green for taking the time to comment
Gulf shores and Orange Beach are my go to vacation every year ❤
Once again , your videos are showing me places I never thought of going to. And once again... Very Nice. (and I didn't know Bella could drive, good job...Bella)
Thankyoy for the nice words
Just got home from our FIRST orange beach vacay! LOVED IT!! This will be our beach destination from now on!
Yep, good to hear you loved it, yes its a great area
Just wrapped up my first week long early September visit to Gulf Shores and this old Kentucky boy enjoyed every single minute of it. The sunny white beaches compare in quality to any others along the US portion of Gulf of Mexico beaches and there's enough local activities, points of interest, shops, great restaurants etc to keep you entertained and wore out for months without feeling over commercialized. We stayed in a top notch airbnb cottage 7 minutes walk from the beach and the same for a bike ride to the Sunliner Diner. I'll will be going back as soon as possible.
Yep I agree, so much to do there
@@TampaAerialMedia thanks for the video.
Heading there soon... great info!!!
Sooo glad you showed some love to the gulf shores! Love the floribama restaurant :)
Woooow historical significance buildings and other structures.
Coastal waters are wonderful and so many vessels to rent.
Amazing work. Thank you sir.
Thank you for the effort you put into this video! I am excited to go.
Thankyou Leah for the nice words
Sweet Home Alabama
Gulf Shores is my hometown 😎🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing these videos
Wow!!!! Best video of Gulf
Shores ever!!! Thanks so much
Thankyou for the nice words
Thank you Randy. Blessings to you and Bella 🥰
Thankyou R G2, hope you are doing good this summer
Thank you for sharing this tour. Orange Beach is great!
You are welcome, thanks for the comment
Great video, great area!
Thank you Randy. I used to have customers in Orange Beach but never had the opportunity to enjoy the area for recreation. Wonderful overview and insights!
Thankyou Atlanta Family, I appreceate that.
Fantastic video! Very helpful, as usual. Another very helpful production.❤
Thankyou John, I appreciate that
This warmed my heart. I just moved from Gulf Shores after spending 19 years between Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. It’s a beautiful place. My new adventure has taken me to the Eastern Shore Of Mobile bay to Fairhope. Great video!💝
Thankyou Suzzi, great to hear from someone who has lived in that area.
Hello Suzzi
Suzzi.... couldn't agree more! Moved to C. FL after having a boat at Sportsman Marina for about 20 yrs. His video makes me want to go back...now! I can honestly say, NONE of the beaches in C. FL, on either coast, have the Southern charm and uncrowded beaches that GS/OBA have!
Hot dang from there to there. I got out after 17 years. Sally was my breaking point. Moved to the desert.
Thanks for all the extra info and hard work you put into this one!
Thankyou Mandy, you are welcome
Thank you. Enjoy watching it so much. I appreciated you for making it :)
That is great to hear, thanks for the feedback Kai.
Gulf shores very nice👍🤝🙏
I was not aware of this place until now, thank you for opening my eyes to it
That is great to hear, thanks for taking the time to comment
There's 3 ALLIGATORS to the left of the battleship (and 1 at top middle shot 😃) at 3:34.
Good eye, I didn't notice that.
outstanding
Nicely done
Thankyou for the nice words
Oh thank you once again ☺️
Hi Rosemary
No other channel brings out the beauty of the US as much as you and Bella do! In a time of division and turmoil, it is so refreshing to see this. If I may request something...a South Padre/Corpus Christie video...would love to see that area in one of your videos. Thank you.
Amen to that! I enjoy his videos so much.
Amazing quality, music, narration, coverage of tiki bars, and info. You & Bella & team always deliver! It’s great seeing other travel destinations that I probably wouldn’t have considered.
Thankyou Star Scream for the feedback
Vacationing here at the end of the summer, and this was a MASSIVE help! Thanks so much for the video. Keep doing what you’re doing
Thankyou for the nice words
Thanks for another great video. You provide a ton of information.
Thankyou Subaru4me, I appreciate the feedback
Great video. The best information on bama beaches by far IMO. We have been going here for 30-plus years and your video's have showed us places and things to do that we never knew. Thx!!
That is good to hear Gary, thanks for taking the time to comment
Thank you so much for this wonderful detailed video.👏
I appreciate you taking the time to comment
Very detailed, thank you very much. Picked up a few ideas for next weeks vacation
Glad to help
Great video! I go down to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores 2-3 times a year and love it! Almost a second hometown to me.
Thankyou Steven
One of the best TH-cam channels by far. Best vibes with the best travel info. I feel like I've been all over the place with these vids. Keep well and keep up the good work.
Thankyou Dane for the nice words
Well done!! Ga. Native here who has been coming to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for 26 years! I must say I saw many places that we have enjoyed but also many places that we did not realize existed. You did your homework on this one for sure and I want you to know your research is so much appreciated!! Subbing to the channel and looking forward to many more adventures!! Stay safe and be careful on your journeys mate!!
Thankyou for the feedback
I really appreciate your videos. This will motivate me to take off on my weekends off.
Thankyou Lelia for the nice words.
Excellent!! Thank you for hard work! Absolutely the best video I have ever seen on traveling!
Thankyou Linda
You’re a really thorough travel filmmaker. Thanks for gathering all the details in the description!
Yo I are welcome Mechelle
Can't wait to go to all these places in June!! This is a very informative video for people who have never been before. Thank you!!
Thankyou Leanne for the nice words
We just spent 6 days in gulf coast and fell in love with this place. Wish we had found your video on the area before we arrived. Great information for our next year's visit.
Thankyou RP, great to hear
Thank you for sharing
You are welcome, thanks for commwnting
Just returned from a Florida Suncoast region vacation thanks, in part, to your content. This video helps to make a rather compelling case to fly into Mobile in order to incorporate this area along with the Emerald coast into one vacation. Thanks!
Yea, I would try that Perdido Queen cruise
Great video! I've been to Pensacola/Gulf shores last year. Coming back in the spring 2024. Looking forward to it!. Your information is a big help!
Thankyou Jim, good to hear
My family has a ben going here since I was a little kid an I find it so relaxing. You did an excellent job on this video Thks for putting it out so more ppl can have a great time with their family like I did with mine 👌🏾💙
Thankyou for the nice words....that one of the reasons I do these videos
Another excellent and informational video. Please continue producing your fantastic series.
Thankyou Joe, sure will, likes like VA Bch might be next
Another outstanding travel video! You have the most useful and interesting travel videos out there. I can tell you do a ton of research. Thanks for all that you do.
Thankyou Jim for the feedback, I appreciate that
Place looks Bada$$, i need to visit!
yep the Orange Bch Jet Boats are Bada$$
Hey Randy, thank you. I'm heading there in about 2 weeks.❤
Should be a good time of year for that area, hope you have a great time.
Another excellent video. You mentioned that you spend quite a bit of time with all the details and info on each business and location you visit and the effort is very much appreciated. It's what sets you apart from so many other creators. You excel in the art of promotional film making
Thankyou for that feedback
Great vid!
Excellent video.
Wonderful and informative video as always! This one is special to me as it my dream and goal to move to this area after researching most of this past year. Randy you really showcase the best tour videos and make them so interesting to watch. Much love and blessings to you and little Bella! Its videos like this that give that extra motivation to follow your goals and achieve your dreams! Thanks again!
I appreciate that Tuft, always want to be uplifting in our videos, so its great to hear feedback like that.
This place don't need or want anymore people. There building houses in flood zone . Last storm people had to be brought out in boats and there still building in places where it has always flooded . It already to many condo's to many people. Born and raised HERE!!
Which state is better for investing, Alabama or Florida ?
@@DaianAntonin alabama
@@natashasmith4454 Thanks ! Based on what ??
Another stunning video thank you Randy and Bella……..our “must visit” list is now too long to fund. 🤣🤣
Thankyou John, yep and I'm sure gas prices don't help.
Phenomenal video
Thankyou Scott
Awesome video! Headed there next week, this is SO helpful.
Thank you glad to help, hope you have a great time
Your videos are excellent! Outstanding production and VERY informative. My wife and I moved to Gulf Shores recently. It's a wonderful town!
Thankyou you for the feedback, also good to know you like Gulf Shores.
Cool!
Home thanks for showing our area and the details were perfect.
Thankyou Kelly
Hello Kelly
such a great video and helpful , Randy!
Thankyou for the nice words
Great video. We only scratched the surface on our one day visit in 2010.
Hello
Thanks for info
You are welcome
I agree with Tom Skillit below. You put in a tremendous amount of work and preparations in your videos. I have been following you for some time now. Keep doing your thing man!
Thankyou William, I appreciate the nice words
Amazing video. New subscriber
Thankyou, great to hear, doing a lot of filing in the Southeast for next 7 months
When they talk about the trails in the gulf state park, for those of you, who don't know, the lodge also has a restaurant in the park called woodside with good food and live music almost every night. Woodside has sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and a bar with domestic and craft beer, As well as local draft beers.
It's located next to the learning center on the left as you enter the park.
Tthankyou, yea I probably should have went deeper into the park
My mom sister and me have driven from pensacola back to Mobile from the beach area.
Going to Fairhope Al is a good trip from gulf shores as it’s only around a 40m drive
The legendary Flora Bama! It looks like a few more buildings have sprung up around there: it was a package store in the front and the bar in back. The big deal was the annual Mullet Toss. Perdido Key used to be pretty quiet: lots of Navy people lived out there. Thanks for the memories.
You are welcome Peter, thanks for sharing
Remember Lillian's pizza across the street?
@@johnbob4545 I don't. I usually ate at the Flora Bama and visited friends at a nearby condo, then went back to my place behind Cordova Mall.
Love seeing a local video done! Live in Mobile and have a family home in Gulf Shores. If you love Breweries then Big Beach Brewing in Gulf Shores is the place to go!
Thankyou, great to hear from a resident in the area
Nice
For those that are unaware, The water quality isn't usually this bad. It's normally blue and beautiful but around August every year algae season occurs on the Gulf Coast and turns the watery brownish green for a short amount of time. Also tends to happen right after a strong tropical storm. I don't know when this video was filmed but that's the usual causes.
I was wondering. Our lake is cleaner than that lol
At this point I live here and still don't know the beautiful side of Alabama
Thx for your great and informative video.
I was looking for videos about the gulf shores and your video was shown to me.
We will go and see the gulf shores next week.
At the moment we are in Memphis.
Greets from Joachim and me,Beate from Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪 🎷🤘😘
Thankyou Joachim & Beate, I appreciate the nice words, hope you enjoy Gulf Shores
Great video Randy. The Rum and Taco bar looks fun! Would also love to bike ride at Gulf Shores state park.
Thankyou Matt
Got married on orange beach and have been back every year since! This video was great!! We just got back a few weeks ago.. and we discovered Alligator Alley, Summerdale, AL (about and hour or so) and it was amazing!
Hello Laura
i wanna see more of your dog.... just the dog. on vacation. in new places. enjoying the view
Thankyou, will try to show more of here but also dont want to detract too much from showing the scenery
This video is making me miss the beaches of orange beach and gulf shores. 💔🥹
Great video! I love that area. Be sure and check out Lambert’s in Foley. Great Food. Keep up the great work.
Thankyou, and thanks for the suggestion.
Great info 😁
Hello Lydia
Took my coah house rv
.nice spot..on the water!
Hello Sandy
Lived here in 2006-2007. Loved every minute of it. This isn’t your 1950s Alabama. Come try it!
Very well said, the Gulf Shores area have come along ways
Turnip Green pretty much sums it up - just an outstanding video. And your usage of the drone is remarkable.
Thankyou Randy for the nice words
congratulations I had the privilege of living in florida for 1 year and a half and no one makes videos with you explaining Florida, once again congratulations
Thankyou Paulo for the nice words.
I have a beach house in GS and the only complaint I have is the water is rarely as nice as it is in Pensacola or Destin. If I knew it was subpar I would have bought east of Bama. The restaurant are also ok and all owned by like 3 individuals. Buying in Ft Walton next because of much better beaches and closer to Destin where the food is exceptionally better.
Yep I would agree with that, but also why Gulf Shores is alittle cheaper
I live in western Canada.. parents and I have a place in Pensacola… great vid, except you forgot Lambert’s in Foley. Home of the thrower rolls :). I appreciate and enjoy your videos
Good suggestion, thankyou for the nice words
Very good! Tku
Hello Brenda.
Aww this brought back lots of memories. Things have changed since i was last there in 05. Thanks for the memories . .. my husband said did he mention Lamberts or the Pink Pony? 🤪
Yep mentioned Pink Pony only in that, that is where the Parasailing Company is at.
Hello Jill
We would love to see you do a Huntsville, AL one!
Yea I thought of that, drove through Huntsville last week. Maybe next year
Hey it’s Marc again. I’ve been messaging you a lot a lot of your videos but hey, in this particular video, I noticed that out after you digital report on the battleship with the drone flyover I seen the tunnels that I used to go through a lot when I was a kid with my parents, but I never got to see What the tunnels went under because of the highway. I always thought they were going underneath the city. in fact it’s going underneath the river so that was pretty cool over to the right of that image is a single tunnel. That was one of the first tunnel they did I believe Before I was completed back in the 70s so so yeah thanks for that video. I really appreciate it that was pretty cool. I will be commenting on your Pensacola video too because we were just there earlier this year back in February I believe and you were at crabs eating something but blue or not. I stopped there once Sunday morning and there was a church. They’re doing a service outside, so right now I’m saving money back up and I do plan on making another trip back to Florida if nothing more than just a visit but I do want to actually move back to Florida anyway thanks for your videos and enjoy and talk to you soon
You are welcome, I appreciate the comments, good to hear what others notice in the videos. Good luck on your return to FL
FAIRHOPE is BY FAR the best part of the Gulf Coast!! Like a little resort town New Orleans style....
Have lived in GS for the last 10 years and wanted to correct a couple things but enjoyed your video so much I feel I would just be trolling and this video doesn't deserve that.
Good use of the drone, I can too for business.
The red helicopter 🚁 my grandsons ♥️🙏🚁 Thank you love from Destin 😊
Thankyou Rosemary
Hello rosemary
I’ve been to Orange Beach before my dad. Rents a motel there ever summer
We always enjoy your work. I lived in Gulf Shores for many years. Such a shame that the Gulf water quality on the Baldwin county beaches was so poor at the time you visited.
Hello Linda
Ha I lived there for 30 years it's the same every year. It only looks good with a North wind.
Shhhiiivvverrrr - meee tiiimbeersss!
I really like watching the guy's videos, he puts a lot of work into it. however the more I watch these videos the more I am sure I wouldn't want to have a dog.
Yep having a dog does limit you alittle bit
Sorry, it's just me, I'm just not a dog person anymore. But anyway, I enjoy watching your videos. And definitely would like to visit the emerald Coast soon.
I guess i should have expected it but unpleasantly surprised at how upscale and overpopulated this place was....everything has a charge..boardwalks..parking it seems very $$$$$$$$$ driven. Love your little dog in the backpack!! Adorable. Thank you for the great tour but i just marked it off of my bucket list. Looking for peace and far less population to spend a few days. Stay Safe.....i do hear they have great redfish fishing tho.
Thankyou, yea compared with other popular tourists spots I found the parking to be not too bad
The water is beautiful in spots, but in other spots, the water has an unflattering hue. I was just wondering if this were something that could be addressed by anyone. The place really does look lovely. Is there a time of season in which sunblock _wouldn’t_ be needed under any circumstances? Or might the temperature reach 75-80 degrees, at _any_ time of year?
