Pictures of Gulf Shores
April 1, 2008

Mistakes vacationers make about pictures of gulf shores that cost them their vacation.

One of the great things about the internet is that you can find pictures of almost anything, including where you’re thinking about staying for your next vacation. Smart vacationers check out the locale long before they make reservations to be sure that the area is nice, the atmosphere friendly and the environment clean, beautiful and safe for their family. Unfortunately, in the wake of 2005’s tropical storms, this sensible precaution is costing many vacationers their first choice in location, says Terry Wedding, a property owner in the Gulf Shore area and custom vacation designer.

“There are so many pictures of gulf shores out there of the devastation from those hurricanes,” he explained, “that people don’t realize all the rebuilding that has gone on since those storms hit. In fact, now is one of the best times to plan a vacation in this area because all accommodations are brand new, the attractions are better than ever and the beach redesign is stunning.”

According to Wedding, who has followed the beach restoration and construction closely, most people don’t realize that a dramatic beach restoration was in the works long before the gulf shores were hit in 2005. “But if you ‘Google’ ‘pictures of gulf shores’” he points out, “you’d think that storm hit yesterday instead of more than 2 years ago.” And obviously, you’d think twice about planning your family vacation in the area.

Wedding says that in reality, pictures of gulf shores taken today show sugar-white sand beaches, stunning sunsets and beautiful, dolphin-spotted vistas. But they’re hard to find amid the tens of thousands of pictures of gulf shores depicting the devastation of 2005.

“The best way to avoid making a serious mistake in your vacation planning,” Wedding says, “is for people to be sure to check the dates on images before they change their plans.” He points out that owners of vacation rentals and entertainment in the area are offering “truly amazing” discount packages as they attempt to get the word out about the “new” gulf shores.

“People can also help by posting their own vacation gulf shore pictures online when they get home,” Wedding suggests. “The more we can expose the new, improved gulf shores to the online community, the sooner people will realize that it’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience for a vacation, whether you’re there to enjoy the pristine beaches, the incredible golfing or the many restaurants and shopping opportunities.”

These are the pictures of gulf shores that we can all enjoy today.
