Orange Beach Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Orange Beach is located in the northwest panhandle of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico and just west of the city of Pensacola. The beach is not to be confused with the small town of Orange Beach, which is actually just over the Alabama State line. The Orange Beach area has a wonderful combination of past, present and future along with some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the state. The Gulf, along with the Intracoastal Waterway, Perdido Bay, Terry Cove, Wolf Bay and Anica Bay provide a setting for most all types of water sports. Swimming, snorkeling, fishing and boating are just a few of the activities to enjoy. Nearby golf courses offer year round play, and bird watching opportunities abound at several spots along the coast. Or, you might want to just relax on the soft, white sand beaches with a good book, enjoying the sights and sounds of the sea. Spend a day visiting nearby Pensacola, with its historic downtown of narrow brick streets, plaza gardens and quaint shops. Other attractions in the area include the Seville Square Historic District in Pensacola, the Big Lagoon State Recreation Area, Pensacola Bay Lighthouse and the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Orange Beach Weather & Climate

Northwest Florida just east of the Alabama State line near the Gulf Islands National Seashore, has a semi-tropical climate with hot, humid summers and warm winters. More than 50 inches of rain is received in this region per year, with most of it in the months between May and September. This, along with the Gulf of Mexico, creates high humidity during this time. Thunderstorms are almost a daily occurrence in the summertime, but they generally do not last long and the sunshine returns. Winter, by comparison, is delightfully much cooler and drier, with perfect conditions for outdoor activities. The hurricane season runs August through October, but direct hits are rare and excellent forecasting gives plenty of warning time for these types of storms.
