Escape to the Gulf Coast for President’s Day Weekend

President’s Day is on Monday, bringing with it a long weekend. And with a long weekend comes the perfect opportunity for a getaway to the Gulf.

You could plan to spend just the weekend in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach—and check out the USSSA President’s Day Beach Blast Baseball Tournament taking place February 18th and 19th at the Orange Beach Sportsplex. Or you could use the long weekend as an extension into a longer vacation. Not only will you get more time to relax on the Gulf, but you’ll get to attend a non-human sports event—the United States Canine Association Region 1 Field Trial—at the Gulf Shores Sportsplex.

Whenever you decide to stay (and for however long), a company like Young’s Suncoast Realty & Vacation Rentals—a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission sponsor—can help you find a place to stay. Maybe you’d like a Gulf-front beach house, or a multi-bedroom condo overlooking a golf course. Visit the company’s website and you can even search for vacation properties in certain locations, those that accept boats, and those that allow pets—bring the family dog along to watch next week’s canine agility events.

Feeling Up to Good Food and Karaoke?

If you’re in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach for a sports event, you’ll find your days filled with activity. You might be participating in the 2012 Gulf Coast Half Marathon Series, or getting your baseball fix while watching the upcoming USSSA President’s Day Beach Blast Baseball tournament.

But the fun doesn’t have to end once the running shoes are put away. When the day’s activities are done and you’re still looking for a little action, you might check out some of the local nightlife hot spots—like Tacky Jack’s, a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission sponsor.

Visit Tacky Jack’s for a delicious dinner—everything from po boys and burgers to various seafood and steak platters—then stay for some of the nighttime activities. Karaoke, bingo, live music, and open mic nights are common events at Tacky Jack’s. Or just hang out, watch some football, and take advantage of the daily specials—like $2 beer and 50-cent wings.

Tacky Jack’s has several locations in and around Gulf Shores & Orange Beach, so take your pick and have fun!
