How is Gulf Shores for outdoor activities?

Hey folks, I'm originally from Charlotte and It's a a small town city with about 15,785 people. The median home value here is around $367,000, which seems about average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Any advice would be great. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in East. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in marketing. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Thai.

No regrets on my end..
