Let’s face it, 2020 was one of the most stressful years ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many faced life changes such as working from home, homeschooling their children and having to ‘shelter in place.’ Wouldn’t it be nice to get away from it all and relax, if only for a little while? How about the opportunity to win The Most Relaxing Trip Ever to Alabama’s Gulf Coast?
The Most Relaxing Trip Ever
Well, here’s your opportunity! The Alabama Tourism Department recently announced The Most Relaxing Trip Ever contest for a chance to win a vacation to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama. The winner will experience a trip designed to inspire relaxation and take in all of the beauty the Gulf Coast has to offer. The Gulf Coast has turquoise water and sugar-white sandy beaches.

What You Could Win
The lucky winner will receive a 4-day/3-night stay at The Lodge at Gulf State Park, a Hilton hotel, where visitors can enjoy the park’s unique amenities and a stunning view of Alabama’s pristine coastline. Go bike riding through wetlands to discover the eco-diversity of the Gulf State Park and relax on the beach with complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas. The prize package includes one hour of professional instruction from the Sandcastle University to learn how to build world-class sandcastles and enjoy a sunset cruise, compliments of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism. The winner also receives incidental allowances, some on-site meals, amenities and a travel allowance they can use for airfare or other transportation.

“This contest is a terrific opportunity for one family to fulfill a desire to travel while experiencing the most fun Alabama’s beaches have to offer – all for free,” said Lee Sentell, director of the Alabama Tourism Department.
