Gulf Shores and Orange Beach's Five Flag Warning System. Be aware!
Be sure to educate yourself about the beach warning flag system. Flags are posted at all public beach areas and beach conditions are monitored throughout each day. Please remember that the absence of red flags does not assure safe conditions. On Gulf Shores and Orange Beach's city beaches, it is illegal to enter the water when the double red flag is being flown. This flag system has been adopted by the beaches within Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and the Gulf State Park.
