Getting Around:

How to Travel in Gulf Shores

Gulf Shores is easy to navigate and offers several convenient ways to get around, whether you’re here to relax on the beach or explore everything the area has to offer.



By Car

Driving is the most common and flexible way to travel in Gulf Shores. The main routes—Gulf Shores Parkway (Highway 59) and West Beach Boulevard—connect you to beaches, restaurants, shopping, attractions, and nearby Orange Beach. Most destinations are just a short drive away, and parking is widely available at public beach accesses, restaurants, and attractions.



Ride-Share Services

Uber and Lyft are available throughout Gulf Shores and are a great option for dining out, events, or evenings when you prefer not to drive. Availability is generally good, though wait times may increase during peak seasons and holidays.



Biking, E-Bikes & Scooters

Many visitors enjoy renting bikes, e-bikes, or scooters for short trips and scenic rides along the coast. These options are ideal for exploring beach areas, local shops, and nearby attractions at a relaxed pace. Sidewalks and bike-friendly areas are available throughout much of the city.



Walking

Gulf Shores is pedestrian-friendly in many areas, especially near public beach accesses, parks, restaurants, and shops. Walking is a great way to enjoy the coastal atmosphere, beach views, and sunsets.





Seasonal Transportation

During peak travel seasons, trolleys, shuttles, or water taxis may be available for special events and popular destinations. Availability varies by season.



No matter how you choose to travel, Gulf Shores offers a relaxed, easygoing coastal environment that makes getting around simple and enjoyable. If you’d like recommendations for rentals or transportation services, we’re happy to help during business hours.



Other Things to Note:

Beach Access Instructions



To access the beach, use the beach boardwalk. Do NOT walk across the dunes. This is strictly prohibited and subject to fines. The dunes are federally protected.



This homeowner also owns the home across the street on the lagoon, known as Lagoon Time. Lagoon Time guests have permission to use this private beach access by skirting along the side of the driveway and using the beach boardwalk to access the beach. The same courtesy applies in reverse: guests from the beachfront home (Dear Time) may walk along the Lagoon Time driveway to access the lagoon path.

Again—no dunes may be crossed.



If you prefer a public beach, the nearest is 2.8 miles east at West Beach Pass. Cross the bridge, turn left to park, and walk across the street or use the path under the bridge.



After enjoying the beach, please use the outdoor shower beneath the home to rinse off before going inside.



For safety and property protection, an exterior security camera is present on-site.



This listing fully describes the rentable space of this home, which consists of the elevated main living level only. The upper level is locked, not accessible, and not advertised for rent as it is the owners private space when they visit.
