(Gulf Shores)

The weather cannot always be perfect on Pleasure Island, so when isn't here are a couple of things you can do to get through those few and far between cold days.

The first place we would like to mention is the Thomas B Norton Public Library in Gulf Shores.  The Gulf Shores Library is a full service library providing many events and activities for its customers.    The library also features 24 hour WIFI, even from the parking lot.  The libraries hour are:

Monday and Tuesday 10:00-8:00 / Wednesday-Friday 10:00-6:00 / Saturday 10:00-3:00.

Here is a review from Google Places:

Nationally recognized, excellent local library... Great little library in this coastal town! Wi-fi available 24hrs a day, even from the parking lot. They have a surprising collection of resources and are staffed by cheerful, friendly librarians who are always willing to help. Stop by on your next visit to the beach!

The library is located at: 221 W. 19th Ave., Gulf Shores, AL 36542 / (251) 968-1176 (251) 968-1476 (251) 968-1184 (Fax) gulfshoresal.gov.

 

Our next stop on a cold day would be The Rafters Restaurant and Sports Bars Virtual Golf Game.  Located next to the Ferris Wheel at The Wharf, Rafters has brought the thrill of golf indoors for those not so pleasant area golf days.  That's right, bring your own clubs in and play 18 with your buddies or just hit a few on the driving range.  Our Virtual Golf features over twenty known courses for you to choose from.  Rounds are $20 per hour for up to four people.  $5 a player is not bad.  Call 251-224-6900 for your tee time.

Here is a review from Urbanspoon:

It's cold out there
December 09, 2010 - Really likes it

I was very happy to be able to play a round of golf today. The high only got to 43 and I needed my golf fix. Rafters virtual gold is the closest you will come to the real thing. I even got to use my new clubs.

Rafters is located at: 4725 Main St Ste 228-Orange Beach, AL 36561
