When sweater weather hits Louisville, it’s time to hit the beach.

Why rake leaves when you could be exploring 32 miles of sugar-white sand at Alabama’s Beaches? With things to eat, drink, and do for the whole family, there’s plenty of reasons to trade bourbon country for beach-side bliss this fall on the gulf coast.

Alabama’s Beaches are only a half-day’s drive away, where fresh Gulf seafood, outdoor adventures, and warm breezes are always in season.
