Things to do near the Gulf Coast

Plan a fun-filled vacation and bask in tropical breezes. With thousands of miles of shoreline to explore and fabulous beach towns to see, it’s only a matter of where to start.

Take advantage of the wide beaches and warm waters—whether sunbathing the day away or catching the perfect wave. Catch up on reading in a lounge chair in the sand, or try your hand at an array of water sports: paddle boarding, jet skiing, kayaking, surfing, or boogie boarding. Find a nearby rental store and explore by sea.
Plan a day on the town. Though the cities differ from state to state, you’re likely to find local attractions by the gulf to keep the good times rolling. Spend the afternoon putting on the golf course or mini-golf course, find a water park or amusement park, tour a local aquarium, hike and bird watch through a state park, or find a live music show.
The Gulf Coast has some of the best access to fresh seafood. Dig into a fish taco dinner or try your hand at fishing along the coast’s abundant waters. If seafood isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other delicious cuisines to be found, from the barbecue in Texas, to Florida’s key lime pie.
