Life at the beach attracts a retirement community unlike any other in Alabama. Many Gulf Shores and Orange Beach residents split their time between the coast and homes in other states.

South Baldwin Regional Medical Center in Foley serves as the nearest hospital for most beach residents. For more specialized care, USA Health and other Mobile-area hospitals are about an hour away.
