The Lodge at Gulf State Park
21196 East Beach Boulevard
Gulf Shores, Alabama 36542
Reserve your room!The Lodge at Gulf State Park is located on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Established in 1974, the original Lodge was a premier tourism destination for 30 years before being irreparably damaged in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan. The new Lodge re-emerged in 2018 as a model of environmentally-friendly coastal development.
The Lodge features four restaurants and over 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space. Outdoor terraces provide ocean views and places to sit, relax and enjoy morning sunrises or sunsets by the fire-pit. Multiple boardwalks provide direct access to the beach for a morning walk, a day of sunbathing or an evening stroll. The surrounding State Park offers access to nearly 28 miles of hiking and biking trails. - Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism, gulfshores.com
Plan to extend your stay. The room block rate will be honored up to two days pre AND post-event, based upon availability. Anyone wishing to extend their stay should contact the Reservations Department (800-618-4350) and mention the group code for CCTS.
