Love the 30A Lifestyle? Discover Gulf Shores, Alabama 

There’s a lot to love about life along the Gulf Coast, white-sand beaches, beautiful waterways, fresh seafood and a laid-back pace that makes every day feel a little more like vacation. And while Florida’s 30A and Destin area may be a familiar favorite, the Alabama Gulf Coast is earning attention of its own.

In a recent feature, Travel + Leisure highlighted Baldwin County, AL as an affordable alternative to Florida’s 30A, pointing to its coastal charm, outdoor recreation and relaxed atmosphere.

Located along Alabama's coastline, Gulf Shores offers its own take on the coastal lifestyle and a new opportunity to call it home at the Landing at Oyster Bay by Smith Douglas Homes.
