It happens to all of us at some point: You’re going out of town, and as you pack your bags, you check off the items on your list—whether it’s a mental list or one you meticulously created—trying to ensure that nothing is left behind. But no matter how many times you review the list, you can’t shake the feeling that something was excluded, and you just can’t think of what it is…until you get to your destination and realize you forgot your sunglasses, your bathing suit, or your camera.
If you’re traveling to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area, it’s not a problem. The area offers plenty of shopping venues to cover anything you might need. Check out the deals at the Tanger Outlet Center, combine dining and shopping at Bayou Village and SanRoc Cay, or simply enjoy the inviting atmosphere at Easter Shore Centre. Even if you managed to bring every single needed item on your vacation, there are always those things that you just want (a Gulf Coast souvenir, or maybe a new beach outfit).
