Gulf State Park is a public recreation area on the Gulf of Mexico in the city of Gulf Shores in southern Baldwin County, Alabama. The state park's 6,500 acres (2,600 ha) mostly encompass the land behind the Gulf Shores beach community, between Highway 59 and SH 161, with the west end extending further south to a wide beach area. In addition to beaches, the park includes marshland, boggy tea-colored streams, pine forests, and three spring-fed, fresh-water lakes: Lake Shelby (750 acres or 300 hectares), Middle Lake, and Little Lake. The park is managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, with park enforcement rangers providing around-the-clock security and enforcing anti-littering regulations.

Pelican Place at Craft Farms

Pelican Place at Craft Farms is a 372,000-square-foot (34,600 m2) lifestyle center in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It is planned to expand to 650,000 square feet (60,000 m2). It was designed by CMH Architects of Birmingham, the firm that also designed the Eastern Shore Centre in nearby Spanish Fort. It was developed by Colonial Properties as part of their "Pinnacle" brand of lifestyle centers and was originally known as the Pinnacle at Craft Farms. In September 2015, Langley Properties, the development's most recent management company, sold Pelican Place to RCG Ventures of Atlanta, Georgia, for more than $18 million.Pelican Place has three anchors. These include a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) fourteen screen Cobb Theatres multiplex, a 15,676-square-foot (1,456.3 m2) Books A Million, and 25,344-square-foot (2,354.5 m2) Bed Bath & Beyond. A 90-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel, and a 45,000-square-foot (4,200 m2) Publix supermarket are immediately south of Pelican Place. The main in-line tenant buildings of the shopping center are oriented along a linear street-scape, which is then intersected to the east by a pedestrian oriented restaurant plaza and splash fountain. Pelican Place was developed as a retail and entertainment component of the Craft Farms golf community, from which it is separated via a landscaped man-made retention pond. It is the primary retail component of the 150-acre (61 ha) master-planned community.
