Among the list of budget-friendly destinations was Gulf Shores, Alabama—famous for its white beaches, warm waters and budget-friendly prices. Here’s what Liz Flynn wrote about the Alabama beach town:

“This coast is heaven for its amazing natural beauty and quiet atmosphere, compared to nearby destinations. Visitors will enjoy the budget-friendly price at Gulf Shores since meals, accommodation and other basic expenses get to $160 per day.”
