Gulf Shores Alabama, white sand

 
  We drove 20 miles south to Gulf Shores to see the Gulf of Mexico - neither of us had seen it before. The sand was as white as new snow; in fact I used the "snow" setting on my camera. This is a public beach but it was deserted as you can see -- the day was windy and quite chilly. The combination of white sand and blue water is pretty, but I think we are more mountain than beach people.
The sign about the alligators was near the entrance to the Gulf Shores State Park campground. We didn't see any alligators but that's okay with me. There were large stands of dead trees near the campground. It looked to us like fire damage but we were told later that it was from Hurricane Ivan in 2004.
