* Gulf Shores Area Earns Best Kid-Friendly Beach Honors, Ranked Among America’s Cleanest Beaches
Weather Channel voters named Gulf Shores/Orange Beach the best kid-friendly beach in the U.S., citing its proximity to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, the Pier at Gulf State Park and the tallest Ferris wheel in the Southeast.
Weather Channel highlighted the nation’s favorite beaches based on specific activities and winners were chosen by Facebook fans, who shared their favorite beaches to enjoy.
In addition, Gulf Shores Public Beach and Gulf State Park Pavilion were named among the cleanest beaches in the nation by a recent annual assessment from the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). The beach was one of 12 in the U.S. to earn a five-star rating for violating health standards less than 5% of the time and for following the best health and safety practices.
