Book your stay at MyBeachGetaways now; National Shrimp Festival 2017 is just 2 months away. Every October, nearly 250,000 people come to Gulf Shores Alabama for this long weekend celebration of the Gulf’s fruit of the sea – shrimp! In fact, Gulf Shores has been voted by Trip Advisor as one of the ‘Top 20 Small Towns with Unique Festivals.’ Jam-packed with things to do, see, hear and smell, there is something for everyone. But whatever you do while you in town, a newcomer has to try the ‘unofficial snack’ of the Shrimp Festival, the Cajun Pistol, a small French baguette stuffed with shrimp and served with a spicy sauce. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!
