It only takes 5 hours to trade metro Atlanta traffic for the turquoise waters of Alabama’s Beaches. This is a playground for families who only have one thing on their minds: fun.
Hit the road by 6 a.m. and put on the Beach Days playlist to set the vibes. As the family sings along to hits from Jimmy Buffett and Childish Gambino, escape down I-85 and take exit 0 for I-65 before getting onto I-10. Then, hit the fast track to the shores by taking exit 49 for the Baldwin Beach Express. Before noon, you’ll be in the heart of Orange Beach at Canal Road.
