Named for the orange groves that once dominated the landscape, Orange Beach has evolved from its agricultural roots to become a popular destination for anglers, boaters, and beachgoers. Together with its twin city of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach boasts a hip coastal vibe that's echoed in the Hotel Indigo's lobby artwork showing windswept dunes, shimmering water and pounding surf.
Part of the scenic state park adjacent to the hotel, the Gulf State Park Pier stretches
