Located along the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast, Gulf Shores offers a lifestyle that many dream of but few experience—endless days of sunshine, warm temperatures, and a vibrant outdoor lifestyle. Here in Gulf Shores, it’s not just about living; it’s about thriving in an environment that beckons you to get outdoors and embrace nature. One of the greatest perks of living here is the ability to enjoy boating and fishing year-round. As we reach the middle of February, we are enjoying unseasonably warm temperatures that feel more like spring than winter. With the temperature in the 70s, some days even higher, it’s no wonder that the waterways are seeing more boat traffic than usual. Whether you are a local or someone looking for a new home in a luxury neighborhood, the Waterways of Gulf Shores provides the perfect setting to indulge in your passion for boating and fishing.
Year-Round Boating
When you think of boating, it’s often associated with summer, but here in Gulf Shores, we are fortunate to enjoy this activity all year long. The warm winter temperatures in the 70s have been a welcome surprise, and it’s not uncommon for locals to get out on their boats in February to soak up the sun and enjoy the peaceful waters. Whether you’re cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway or taking your boat out to the open Gulf, there’s no shortage of beautiful scenery to enjoy.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Gulf Shores area, you might be surprised to learn just how accessible and expansive our waterways are. The neighborhood of Waterways of Gulf Shores is ideally located with easy access to both calm bays and the more expansive Gulf of Mexico. With boating so ingrained in the culture here, you’ll find an array of options for enjoying this lifestyle. From kayaks to luxury yachts, there is something for everyone, no matter their preferences or experience levels.
What sets Gulf Shores apart from other boating destinations is the ability to enjoy these waters year-round. Unlike northern areas where boating is limited to a few short months of the year, Gulf Shores offers boating enthusiasts a chance to enjoy their passion in the winter months, when most places would be tucked away under layers of snow. The mild temperatures and warm waters provide the perfect conditions to get out on the boat, whether you’re seeking an afternoon of peaceful solitude or enjoying a weekend of fun with family and friends.
Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico
For those who love fishing, there’s no better place to live than Gulf Shores. Whether you’re casting a line from the dock, enjoying a leisurely day on the water, or even deep-sea fishing out in the Gulf, the options are endless. Gulf Shores is home to some of the best fishing in the country, and that’s a huge draw for both locals and visitors. The abundance of fish species, from red snapper to tuna, makes every fishing trip a new adventure.
As February rolls in, the fishing community here is busy. With temperatures in the 70s, fish are more active, and that means better chances of catching your next big one. From the tranquil lagoons and backwaters of the area to the open waters of the Gulf, anglers of all levels can find a fishing spot that suits them. Whether you prefer casting from a pier, fishing from a boat, or booking a charter for a day of deep-sea fishing, Gulf Shores offers it all.
The best part is that the fishing doesn’t end when the weather cools down. In fact, many locals will tell you that the cooler months offer some of the best fishing of the year. As temperatures drop, certain species, such as speckled trout and redfish, become more abundant in the area, making it a prime time for fishermen to reel in a trophy catch. With year-round access to both inshore and offshore fishing, Gulf Shores has long been considered a hidden gem for anglers.
