For a true Gulf Coast experience, the Flora-Bama honky-tonk and oyster bar is a short drive east toward Orange Beach.
The beach is just steps from your door with private deeded access — guests consistently rave about how short the walk is compared to high-rise properties, and the beach is noticeably less crowded in this area.
