No one wants to do work during a vacation. Then don’t! But, correct me if I’m wrong, many of us have been working away from the home office for months and what you really need is Wi-Fi, a few supplies, a phone, laptop, and the ability to knock out your work schedule like usual. Then let’s do it from Gulf Shores or Orange Beach! Here’s some great ways to settle in and create one of the greatest FlaxCations ever with the wavy Gulf Coast in full view…
You’ll Have the Best Office View of Your Life
Tablets, laptops, and smartphones oh-my! Your next Zoom meeting could have the soothing waves of the gulf in the background. That’s what I call a relaxing day on the job! (Photo provided by Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism)
Get Those Steps Counted on Your Breaks
Bring that special someone along for the ride on your FlexCation. They say it’s important to stretch your legs, multiple times, during a long workday. Get moving and stay active on the beaches, piers, and trails at Alabama Beaches! (Photo provided by Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism)“Oh, sure! I can get that email out right away! Let me take a few more pics of the beautiful scenery on the Pine Beach Trail in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, and I’ll get right back to y’all!” (Photo provided by Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism)
Company-HQ at Gulf State Park
A mobile workplace with quite a view and plenty of sunshine. The RV nation can get a lot of deadlines completed when you have surroundings like this during the winter!

How about a free bike sharing program provided for you daily commute! Another amazing perk at Gulf State Park and you can take these bad-boys all around the area to locate that perfect spot to hammer out some miles while staying busy.

After Work Cocktails
We all have our preferences when it comes to kicking back after a long day, and Alabama Beaches can cater to so many of them. Tacky Jack’s Cigar Bar has the wide range of spirits and stogies to make that FlexCation nice and smoooooooooth.
Start Your Seafood Diet
