Orange Beach Waterfront Park is a great place to enjoy an amazing outdoor play area, Orange Beach Pier, and grassy areas to relax.
Orange Beach Waterfront Park
Located next to the Orange Beach Coastal Art Center the Waterfront Park is truly amazing! I think it is a hidden gem in town that more people should enjoy.
There is a gorgeous pier perfect for watching dolphins in Wolf Bay, sunrise and sunset, and relaxing on the water.
The large Orange Beach Adirondack chair is perfect for vacation photos.
There are walking paths, the kids' park with slides and fun, the fishing pier, picnic areas, restrooms, and more at this public park open to the public year-round.
We suggest bringing sunscreen, hats, and everything you need enjoy time at the park. It does get hot in the summer but the covered pavilions and breeze off the bay help.
Playground
The playground at the Edward H. Carroll, Sr. Kids Park at Waterfront Park was completely renovated in 2021.
The play structures are amazing. We love that there are shade structures for parents and visitors to sit under to take a break from the direct sun.
Orange Beach Waterfront Park Pier
The 400-foot long Waterfront Pier in Orange Beach is fantastic! A great place to fish, look for dolphins, or enjoy time on the water.
When the Waterfront Pier was completed the city of Orange Beach added 24 disk reefs to help attract more fish to the area.
They also deepened the water around the pier to help accommodate the work barges that completed the repairs back in 2022 from Hurricane Sally damage.
