We went to
LuLu's, a restaurant we'd heard about for several years, but never made it to. The Twenters would think they'd died and gone to Heaven. It's quirky, it's fish-campy, it's colorful, and it's run by Jimmy Buffett's sister.
Even the bathroom shows the whimsy through out the restaurant and its grounds.
It's a little hard to get to, especially if you use Garmin which wants to take you across a bridge that has "been gone for 30 years." Basically, you cross this bridge in Gulf Shores over the Inland Water Way and make right turns. The Garmin way was very frustrating, because I could SEE it, but couldn't get there, so I just called for directions.
There's a nice out-door sand area for children to play in---there are just not that many children in Gulf Shores in February/March.
Above--"LuLu's Fountain for Youth" on the edge of the sandy play area.
But, there's also beach volley-ball. . .
a beverage bar. . .
and near where we sat, a big screen displaying an aquarium, family Buffett photos and on the right a framed photo of the Blue Angels. . .
And the gift shop isn't to be missed, either. All in all worth the drive from Flora-Bama, but I'm not sure I want to get near it in summer. The parking lot was packed and there were only 5 handi-capped places. BUT, I can highly recommend it. . . oh, and the food was good at not too bad of a price.
