"Do not commute but travel to local shopping centers and the beach is not stressful but can become very crowded and slow during summer months which are the peak of tourist season."

"Gulf Shores is definitely a tourist hotspot. When weekends come you can't really get a good parking spot at the beaches, so be prepared to walk. Also, most beaches here do not allow your pets at all. If you have a cabana at the beach, you'll be far back and not closer to the water. This place is pricey when it comes to eating out. I'd say overall, it is a great vacation spot. "

"If you're considering moving here from out of state there are a few things to consider first. The public schools aren't all that good. The groceries are expensive. There isn't a really good night life here, incase you're needing a night out. Most restaurants we've been to allow smoking. The school bus driver yelled and pointed in the children's faces most of the time throughout the year. "
