8 FAN-tastic Ways to Tailgate at Turquoise Place
Is it an away week for your team? Why not tailgate in Orange Beach? Pack your team colors and touchdown at Turquoise Place for a winning weekend cheering on your team.
Grill on a Gulf-front Balcony
If football means firing up the grill, you’re in luck. Every condo balcony at Turquoise Place Orange Beach features gas grills and outdoor kitchens to make it easy to grill those game-day burgers. Skip the grocery store and have provisions delivered right to your condo prior to your arrival with our exclusive grocery delivery service for guests booking direct with Spectrum Resorts. Your crew can even relax in the private, balcony hot tub while you grill up your gameday menu.
Take Advantage of Spacious Condos
The oversized condos at Turquoise Place range from 2,300 to 5,000 square feet. That’s a lot of room to spread out while watching the game and plenty of room to cheer on your team when you tailgate in Orange Beach! Cook up game-day vittles in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen and mix drinks at the wet bar. Both are just steps from the large living area where you can watch the game with a Gulf-front view.
Watch All the Games at Change of Pace
Catch all the action with multiple screens at Change of Pace, our poolside grill (there’s shaded seating, too). A large projector screen is set up on game days near Change of Pace so you won’t miss a single play. Enjoy tailgate favorites like burgers, nachos, hot dogs, chicken wings and more. Wash it down with a frozen beach cocktail or cold beer when you tailgate in Orange Beach. Check out our special game day menu.
Play Sand Football
During half-time, grab a football and head out to the beach for a game in the sand. What a great way to create happy memories on a tailgate weekend! Where else can you make a splash while diving to make the game-winning catch?
Take a Time Out
If you do want to retreat from the football fun, Turquoise Place offers a range of amenities that allow rest and relaxation. One of our three outdoor pools is a zero-entry pool, and the two indoor pools even have underwater speakers. Our lazy river is 450 feet of floating bliss. We also have tennis courts, a kid’s playground and activities at the Spectrum Club Lounge, including pool, ping pong, shuffleboard and a gaming center.
Bonus! Don’t forget to visit the Spectrum Club Lounge for a complimentary breakfast of eggs with topping station, muffins, bagels, cereal and a waffle station. Note the lounge closes for the season on Nov. 30.
Find Your Tribe
Whether you’re an Alabama, Auburn or LSU fan (or even one of the Big 10 Conferences teams), there’s sure to be other devotees sporting your team colors around the resort. Find some other supporters (or rivals) and watch the game together when you tailgate in Orange Beach.
Kick Back at Kickoff with the Locals
There’s no reason to leave the resort once you’re onsite, but if you do want to venture out to catch a game, there are plenty of watering holes where you can cheer on your team with fellow football fans. After all, our location puts you in the center of all the action in Orange Beach.

The 53rd Annual National Shrimp Festival has been cancelled. The cancellation is a direct result of Tropical Storm Isaias, which forecasters predict will develop into a Category 2 hurricane before making landfall along the northern gulf coast.
“I met early this morning with the City of Gulf Shores Emergency Management officials,” Coastal Alabama Business Chamber President Greg Alexander said. The Chamber is the presenter of the festival. “We made every attempt to conduct the festival this year, but due to the projection of high winds, heavy surf and rain over the weekend, it really left us no choice but to cancel this year’s event," Alexander said.
He also said that the swift changes in overnight predictors cemented the decision. “We said yesterday that we would wait until today’s forecasts and predictions were in to make a final decision. After the 4 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center, it left us no choice but to cancel the event,” Alexander said.
Baldwin County sent out a release this morning that outlined the key points with Isaias: • Isaias is likely to be a significant hurricane at landfall. Confidence is increasing for major impacts to coastal Alabama and northwest Florida.
• Earliest reasonable arrival of tropical storm force winds: Friday morning and afternoon, with the most likely onset Friday evening.
• Hurricane and Storm Surge Watches: Expected to be issued later today.
• Major concerns: High winds, high surf, rip currents, storm surge, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Heavy rainfall remains a concern, especially after last weekend’s flooding.
“We were really looking forward to a great weekend with shrimp, music, hundreds of vendors and thousands of visitors,” Shrimp Festival Chairman Rob Barnas said. “But with Isaias predicted to make landfall in our immediate area, the safety of each of these volunteers, visitors and vendors was our top priority.”
Further information will be posted as on the Festival’s Social Media pages and myshrimpfest.com.
