Aviate Hat - GUF (Gulf Shores, AL)

GUF - Gulf Shores, AL Hat Color: Ocean A.k.a Alabama's Beautiful Beaches, Pleasure Island Did you know... Don't be confused - Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are NOT the same thing. Just let any of the locals tell you! Few people outside the state knew about this area until Hurricane Frederic in 1979, which after much destruction actually contributed to its rebirth as a tourist destination. Seafood is kind of a big deal. Christmas dinner down here may just include fresh oysters, oyster gumbo, fried oysters, and baked chicken with oyster dressing.
