I moved to Orange Beach in June, after I decided to spend the summer living with my dad while he worked on starting up his restaurant (Fishtales, quite nice, at the Wharf). The beach really is one of the nicest Gulf beaches I’ve been to, and the weather is beautiful. There’s a ton of great seafood, and a huge outlet mall only several minutes away. However, despite all of these attractions (and there are many, since it’s quite touristy), once one has lived there for a month or so, it begins to get a bit old. Still, I’d recommend anyone to spend a week or so there.
