Thanksgiving on the Alabama Gulf Coast

There’s something special about Thanksgiving at the beach. The sound of the waves, the salty breeze, and the slower pace of coastal life make it easy to relax and enjoy the holiday with family and friends.

Whether you’re gathered around a beach house table or enjoying a casual feast on the balcony, Thanksgiving on the Alabama Gulf Coast brings a fresh twist to the traditional holiday. Imagine spending your morning walking the beach or catching one of our incredible Gulf sunsets as you wind down the day.

Many local restaurants offer dine-in or take-out Thanksgiving menus, giving you the option to skip the cooking and spend more time making memories.

November is one of the most peaceful times of the year to visit. The beaches are quiet, the weather is mild, and local shops are filled with festive décor and early holiday sales. It’s the perfect time to relax, explore, and enjoy the coast before the busy holiday season ahead.

However you celebrate this year, we hope your Thanksgiving is filled with warmth, great food, and a little extra sunshine.
