Where Is Sand In My Boots Located?

The festival takes place on the beach in Gulf Shores, in and around The Hangout and the Gulf Shores Public Beach at 101 E Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL 36542. In 2025 the festival footprint also included surrounding parking lots and public roads, including part of Gulf Beach Blvd.

Important things to know about getting there:

• Parking is extremely limited. Plan to walk or use the festival shuttle instead of driving to the gate.
• Shuttles ran all three days in 2025. Stops were spread across Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, including Pelican Place, Hampton Inn, Waves Market and The Gulf. Expect similar service in 2027, but check the official shuttle map once it is released.
• Expect road closures and heavy traffic near the beach, especially on Highway 59 and Gulf Beach Blvd.
• Stay close and save the stress. A rental near the festival or along the shuttle route means no fighting traffic after the headliner.

Best Places to Stay: Gulf Shores vs. Orange Beach

Stay in Gulf Shores for Maximum Convenience

Prefer more space? Our Gulf Shores beach houses are great for big groups, with room to spread out, cook together and gather on the deck after the show.

Stay in Orange Beach for a Resort-Style Home Base

Why a Condo or Beach House Beats a Hotel for a Music Festival Weekend

• Full kitchen: Cook breakfast, pack a cooler and skip some of the festival-weekend restaurant prices.
• Space for the group: Split the cost across friends or family and everyone gets a real bed and a place to hang out.
• Private balcony or deck: Start the morning with coffee and a Gulf view, and wind down at night away from the crowds.
• Pools and beach access: Many of our resorts offer pools and easy beach access for recovering between sets.
• Dog-friendly and boat-slip options: Traveling with a pup or a boat? See our dog-friendly rentals and boat slip rentals.

Book Direct and Save Money Over the OTAs

When thousands of fans are looking for a place to stay, online travel agencies (OTAs) are quick to add their fees on top of the nightly rate. Booking directly with Beach Getaways can save you money, and here is why:

• You save money. We manage the condos and beach houses we rent, so our rates stay low. You will often see additional fees on third-party booking sites that you will not pay when you book through our website.
