Everything You Need to Know About Your Beach Club Vacation

Packing & Planning

Traveling Tips

Our local experts have agreed on a few important tips to remember regarding your drive to The Beach Club Resort & Spa.

• Saturday is the busiest day for traffic during summer, especially times between 10am-6pm. If possible, avoid a check-in or check-out on Saturday to save on drive-time.
• There is a ferry that runs from Dauphin Island to Fort Morgan. This route runs about the same in drive-time, but it is definitely a more scenic option.
• Skip Highway 59, and take the Baldwin Beach Express. Travelers can access the Baldwin Beach Express from Exit 49 from Interstate 10. There are less congested traffic lights.

Complimentary Bike Rentals

Beach Chairs

Secure your unobstructed view of the Gulf.  Only guests of Spectrum Resorts can reserve their beach chairs in advance.  During high occupancy, we recommend making reservations in advance due to limited beach chair sets, especially if you want the front row.

Beach chair sets include two beach chairs and one umbrella.  For more details on pricing and a map of the beach chair set up, click here.

Call (251) 224-2500 to reserve your beach chairs.

Leave Only Footprints

The Beach Club has joined the community initiative of Leave Only Footprints to protect our beautiful beaches and provide guests with pristine beach views. Enacted by the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach municipalities in 2016, Leave Only Footprints asks all patrons that anything brought to the beach is taken with you once you are done enjoying the sand for the day. For disposable items, there are multiple trash receptacles placed throughout the beach for your convenience.
