Quiet area (beach)

What areas in and around Gulf Shores are less crowded? My wife and I love the beach, but really aren%26#39;t into crowds...especially places that have lots of kids. It%26#39;s not really a relaxing beach when there are people%26#39;s kids running around screaming and playing (sorry to those that have kids, but us adults that choose not to have kids don%26#39;t think any of that is cute). I want a quiet beach that I can lay on, drink a cold drink and listen to the waves. Just moved to Alabama, so where on the coast is this beach?

Thanks, J

Fort Morgan is your kind of place (and mine). The Fort Morgan peninsula streches about 17 miles west of Gulf Shores and is pretty sparsely populated. Lots of wide open beach. A few restaurants are starting to sprout up out that way, too. Check it out. Some nice beach houses and some nice 2nd and 3rd tier houses that are cheaper to rent than the gulf front houses.

Are you kidding? I have kids, and love them more than anything in this world, but when I am at the beach, they can get on MY nerves. Not offended at all.

You may also find some properties you like down West Beach Blvd. We have found it a nice compromise if we are on a short trip, and want the quiet, but the convenience of being close to stores %26amp; restaurants if we choose. (Fort Morgan can eat up a lot of time driving.) Some nice, mid price properties in the West Beach area.

Our FAVORITE quiet beach, though, is Cape San Blas.

About 1 hr east of Panama City, 20 minutes west of Apalachicola, and about a hour longer to get to than Gulf Shores, but a TRUE vacation.

Try googling it, or look at Florida info, OR check out www.thecapeescape.com.

Have fun, Miller

Thanks! We will definately try these out!
