Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama
The spring break crowds may flock to Florida, but Alabama’s sugar-white sandy beaches are among the most beautiful in the country. Book your teens in a morning session at Sand Castle University to learn the "proper" way to sculpt a sand castle, then bike as a family along 28 miles of paved trails at Gulf State Park. For adventurous teens, book a ride in a gyroplane for bird’s eye views of the coastline. Spread out in the newly-renovated Eagle Cottages at Gulf State Park.
