Cotton Bayou - A Gulf State Park Beach Area

Gulf State Park boasts over 3.5 miles of beautiful white sand beaches available in both our main park area in Gulf Shores at the Beach Pavilion and from our access points in Orange Beach, Alabama. Our family-friendly beaches are a perfect place to enjoy some much needed time of fun and relaxation. Whether you are into surf fishing or just laying out and reading a book, you will find our beaches to be a fantastic place to do this and more. Anyone using the beach must maintain a consistent 6-foot distance from others (excluding those living in your home) and wear a mask or other facial covering when in close contact with other people.
