Fishing: No Need to Wait

You don’t have to wait for summer to roll around again to take that next fishing trip. The weather along the Alabama Gulf Coast may be cooler this time of year, but the fishing is still going strong.

Plenty of fish are out there to be caught, and plenty of fishing options are available through the fall and winter months: surf fishing, pier fishing, as well as inshore and offshore fishing. Maybe you just want to spend a couple hours trying your luck right off the beach, or maybe you’re up for an adventurous overnight fishing trip out in the Gulf. The choice is yours.

Several charters are available to take you on your fishing excursion. Dolphin cruises are another option for boating fans. Visit the Spectrum Resorts website for a list of fishing charters.

Shopping Season

The luxuriousness of Spectrum Resorts’ condominiums and the gorgeous weather this time of year aren’t the only reasons you should visit us for your fall getaway. The holiday shopping season is picking up, and the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area has a variety of shopping options.

One advantage of shopping somewhere such as the Gulf is the individuality of the shops. Locations such as San Roc Cay and Bayou Village offer several stores with unique merchandise. From chocolate candies and novelty gifts to local boutiques and art galleries, you’ll be sure to find something special to gift.

For those who like to stick to traditional, brand name retail, the Tanger Outlet Mall has over 120 brand name outlet stores—not to mention great deals.

And it’s not just about what you’re shopping for—atmosphere is important, too. Places like The Wharf have not only shopping, but also great restaurants, a movie theater, live music, and a lively environment.

Spa Holiday

This time of year, many of us are already in a holiday shopping state of mind. Coming up with gift ideas that are new, unique, and useful can be a challenge year after year. Often, we get hung up on looking for the perfect “thing.” This year, try giving the perfect spa experience.

The Sirena del Sol Spa at The Beach Club is getting into the holiday spirit by adding a little seasonal aroma therapy to their already rejuvenating pedicures and facials. Pumpkin spice and cranberry 60-minute pedicures are available for $45, cranberry 50-minute facials are available for $65, and a 60-minute champagne pedicure will be offered for $45.

Treat a loved one to a seasonably aromatic spa visit as part of a weekend getaway, or celebrate the New Year by indulging with friends. Visit The Beach Club website for more information.

The fun starts on Friday evening with the actual “murder.” On Saturday guests will spend the day looking for clues to help solve the mystery, then have the chance to solve the murder on Saturday evening. Guests who guess correctly will be entered into a drawing to win a two-night, three-day stay.
