(I will move this to the BS forum shortly, guys...just wanted to make sure people knew it existed)

So I'm looking to take a long weekend at the end of May to Gulf Shores or somewhere like that with my wife. We are mainly looking for a place that is on the beach so we can catch some sun and have some drinks....something close to shopping so we can do that one day for my wife.....maybe near a golf course so we can do that one day for me (any par 3 courses?). Mainly just a long weekend getaway to spend some time together away from beautiful Central MS*.

Anybody got any good suggestions? It doesnt need to be super luxurious.....I'm looking for something middle of the road. Id be fine with a vrbo rental if anybody has had any luck in that area.

I'm more familar with the Destin area, but I remember trips when i was younger to Gulf Shores that were fun.
That being said, would it be worth going to the MS Gulf Coast for a long weekend? Its been a while since ive been down there, and i have no idea if there are decent beaches, hotels, etc. I know there are casinos, but i dont want to stay in a casino for this trip. Any of you coasties have any suggestions or advice on whether it would be worth coming down there instead of Gulf Shores?

Thanks in advance guys.

I would go to Orange Beach. Good hotel is the Hampton Inn on the Beach.
