Travel Haiku - Gulf Shores And Orange Beach (Alabama) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

chosing orange beach
over panhandle
just to be with myself

Sun-dappled Gulf of Mexico water meets 32 miles of sugar-white sand in this coastal Alabama haven. Often overshadowed by the Florida Panhandle, Gulf Shores and the neighboring community of Orange Beach are an unsung duo, providing myriad outlets for an ideal beach vacation. Summer is humid and scorching hot, but spring enjoys warm days and cool Gulf breezes at night. Spend some time hiking, fishing, and kayaking at nearby 7,000-acre Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, which has five miles of federally protected beachfront.
