Perdido Pass to be dredged - al.com: "ORANGE BEACH — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aims to begin dredging the navigation channels through Perdido Pass within a month, likely removing more than 400,000 cubic square yards of sand that has choked boating lanes in recent years.
City officials had hoped to use that sand — equal to about 25,000 dump truckloads — to bolster portions of its manmade beach that were eroded by this past summer's storms. It's estimated that hurricanes Ike and Gustav, though they merely passed by in the Gulf of Mexico, swept away about 750,000 cubic yards of sand from Orange Beach's shoreline, Coastal Resource Manager Phillip West said."

Let me preface this blog with the fact that I just returned from a week trip to the famous Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Believe it or not, I enjoy traveling to other beach destinations and take notes from my trip to enhance the services and rentals we offer at Prickett Properties in Orange Beach Alabama.
The Atlantis amenities are over the top. There are shark tanks, an aquarium that beats the New Orleans aquarium hands down, huge water slides, a 30 minute lazy river ride with white water rapids, a casino, and of course those turquoise waters.
However, the Atlantis is lacking affordability. I guess that I have gotten use to good ole Orange Beach Alabama because I was shocked. A domestic beer was $7.50 and a kids hot dog was $10.00 by the pool. I shutter to think about the dinner menu prices. $16.00 for a grilled cheese....really? The adult entrees were a standard of $30-$40 and sides were extra.
"Extra" was actually the word of the week for our family because everything was "Extra." For example, it cost $15.00 a day per person to go to the gym. Rock climbing anyone? Extra! I might have stomached all the extras better had the Bahamian people sold it with a smile. Nah...who needs to be nice? You can afford it right?
I welcomed good ole Alabama prices as I returned home today and reflected on how affordable and nice of a destination we have right here at our back door in Orange Beach. Not to mention, our southern hospitality will make anyone feel at home.
A family of 8 can stay at Turquoise Place, a beachfront 3 bedroom luxury condo, for only $255.00 a night in Feb and $3800 a week in the peak season. The tower we stayed at the Atlantis runs about $800 a night for a HOTEL room. Not to mention, Turquoise Place has high-end amenities such as private hot tubs on each balcony, wolf gas ranges, outdoor gas grills, jacuzzi tubs with flat screens in the master bath and ipod docking station with surround sound. At the Atlantis, I got a dated bed and a tiny tub/shower combo and there was no balcony.
I am not undermining the beauty of the bahamian waters or the fabulous water-park amenities that the Atlantis had to offer. I am however noting how much our area has to offer at such a VERY affordable price.
Not to mention, Orange Beach is becoming quite the destination itself. Has everyone heard that Kenny Chesney is coming to the Wharf ????? Enough said :)
