Alabama's Gulf Coast
A lot of the beaches along the Florida panhandle, Alabama and Louisiana coasts are luckily still open for business, but that does not mean things have remained the same as in past summer tourist seasons. Because of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that began as a result of a line rupture in April, people have canceled or re-located their summer beach vacations. Please, if you have time to take a long weekend trip this summer, consider one of the magnificent sugar white beaches on the Gulf Coast. Hotels are CHEAP right now, and you will be able to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery without the usual summer crowds.
