Getting Around:
How to Travel in Gulf Shores
Gulf Shores is easy to navigate and offers several convenient ways to get around, whether you’re here to relax on the beach or explore everything the area has to offer.
By Car
Driving is the most common and flexible way to travel in Gulf Shores. The main routes—Gulf Shores Parkway (Highway 59) and West Beach Boulevard—connect you to beaches, restaurants, shopping, attractions, and nearby Orange Beach. Most destinations are just a short drive away, and parking is widely available at public beach accesses, restaurants, and attractions.
Ride-Share Services
Uber and Lyft are available throughout Gulf Shores and are a great option for dining out, events, or evenings when you prefer not to drive. Availability is generally good, though wait times may increase during peak seasons and holidays.
Biking, E-Bikes & Scooters
Many visitors enjoy renting bikes, e-bikes, or scooters for short trips and scenic rides along the coast. These options are ideal for exploring beach areas, local shops, and nearby attractions at a relaxed pace. Sidewalks and bike-friendly areas are available throughout much of the city.
Walking
Gulf Shores is pedestrian-friendly in many areas, especially near public beach accesses, parks, restaurants, and shops. Walking is a great way to enjoy the coastal atmosphere, beach views, and sunsets.
Seasonal Transportation
During peak travel seasons, trolleys, shuttles, or water taxis may be available for special events and popular destinations. Availability varies by season.
No matter how you choose to travel, Gulf Shores offers a relaxed, easygoing coastal environment that makes getting around simple and enjoyable. If you’d like recommendations for rentals or transportation services, we’re happy to help during business hours.
Other Things to Note:
Beach Access Instructions
To access the beach, walk across West Beach Blvd from the home, turn left (east), and continue to the second driveway at the house with the orange front columns (2833 W. Beach Blvd, “Dear Time”). Walk along the left side of the driveway, go under the home, and take the private ramp directly to the beach.
Do NOT walk across the dunes. This is strictly prohibited and subject to fines. The dunes are protected, and the homeowner may have guests or residents in the beachfront home.
The beachfront homeowner has granted permission for Lagoon Time guests to use this private beach access, and the occupants of the beachfront home are aware. The same courtesy applies in reverse: guests from the beachfront home may walk along the Lagoon Time driveway to access the lagoon path.
Again—no dunes may be crossed.
If you prefer a public beach, the nearest is 2.8 miles east at West Beach Pass. Cross the bridge, turn left to park, and walk across the street or use the path under the bridge.
After enjoying the beach, please use the outdoor shower beneath the home to rinse off before going inside.
For safety and property protection, an exterior security camera is present on-site.

Must stay
Everything about our stay was incredible. From a seamless check-in, to the house itself, everything was exactly what we were looking for. Being on the beach, in a house with great sized rooms, the best kitchen, and a pool, we couldn’t go wrong. We are already looking at what week we want to book next summer at this same house. Highly recommend!

Sunshine and rest for our family
We have stayed at several houses on the West side of Gulf Shores. Beach is peaceful and spotless. Great for kids and night time star gazing. This location had an elevator inside and ramped access outside to stairs that lead down to the beach.Property is as listed. Manager was prompt helpful and honest with all requests by text or phone. Property was clean and well maintained. Kitchen/common area worked well for the family; while a back bedroom/bath area worked for our daughter and youngest grandchild.

Great Getaway
Dear Time was just what we needed. The house was very clean and was the perfect space with 5 Very nice bedrooms with comfortable beds. Everyone said they slept so good. The location on the beach was perfect for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We practically had the beach all to ourself. The walkway out to the was nice andtheramp was perfect for my dad who uses an electric chair. There is not, however, a ramp to enter the house. Just one step up from the seaside entry. The elevator worked well, but also did not have a ramp to get to it. It wasnt a problem for us, but to someone who could not get out of there chair it might be.The views were great and we spent each morning on the porch with our coffee. The kitchen was stocked extremely well. We had more than we needed. Lots of games and Tvs in every room.
The hosts answered any questions we had very quickly. I would highly recommend this property.

Overall pretty great.
The location is perfect—the beach is fantastic, traffic minimal. The furniture in the living space could be more comfortable and the rugs slip around, but overall it was a great stay. I wasn’t familiar with that type of stove or oven, so instructions would’ve been nice. The elevator was handy for moving in and out, and the ramp out back was also nice. Loved the outdoor shower.
