Marinas
The three big Orange Beach marinas operate from inside Perdido Pass. Different fleets, different cultures, different price points. Walk all three before you book.
Barber Marina
A serious working marina on Arnica Bay that happens to have Stonehenge and dinosaurs in the woods.
Flora-Bama Marina & Watersports
The Flora-Bama family's marina on Ole River — new boats, new skis, and the bar right across the road.
Happy Harbor Marina
Fifty-plus boats, two locations, and a family that's been renting them out since 2007.
Hudson Marina
The family one-stop on Terry Cove — rent a pontoon, ride a dolphin boat, snorkel, then eat at Avenue Pub without moving your car.
Orange Beach Marina
The bluewater marina. Where the long-trip and tournament boats live. Fisher's restaurant is on-site and worth the trip.
Safe Harbor Sportsman
The working marina. Formerly Sportsman, now Safe Harbor — dense slip count, working-boat feel, and the kind of dock conversations that get you on the right charter.
