I hesitantly agreed to taking a vacation in mid April to Gulf Shores Alabama. We will be with my wife's family for about a week. Their idea of a vacation is golfing, sitting at a pool, sitting at a beach, golfing some more, repeat. I on the other hand will go crazy after about an hour or two at a beach and royally suck at golf, so looking for other things I can sneak away to do. My boys are pretty young (1,3, and 4) but I thought a little fishing would be fun for the older two. Any other thoughts on things to do in the area? Sites to see, things to do, etc.? I've never been to the area before. Thanks much.

Eat at Lambert's in Foley, the alligator farm was pretty neat. There is a Dolphin cruise that is really cool I will see if my wife remembers the name of it.
It is what it is.

We used to go to Dauphin Island for Spring Break with the kids and take the ferry across to the Gulf Shores. I love the food and the people.

The Spanish mackerel will be running on the pier that time of year. You can rent a pole for like 6 bucks and break the line, the pole, or the reel you just take it back to the pier shop. I'm a "pier rat" and fish about 3 days a week during summer when school isn't in session. I'm not sure if your boys like to fish but the Gulf State Pier can be real fun to see new things and catch some fish. Lots of people are shocked to see as many sharks as they do on the pier. It's common to see 6-7 sharks cruising the pier.
