Romar Beach Public Beach Access
Gulf State Park boasts over 3.5 miles of beautiful white sand beaches available in both our main park area in Gulf Shores at the Beach Pavilion and from our access points in Orange Beach, Alabama. Our family-friendly beaches are a perfect place to enjoy some much needed time of fun and relaxation. Whether you are into surf fishing or just laying out and reading a book, you will find our beaches to be a fantastic place to do this and more.
This beach area is easy to get to. It's perfect for a quick beach stroll or an impromptu picnic. It's located 6.8 miles east of Highway 59.
We are excited to announce that Romar Beach Access is about to undergo some exciting changes! In order to make these changes possible, the beach access will be closed for renovations starting on April 18th, 2023. The renovations will include the construction of a brand-new bathhouse, which will provide a comfortable and convenient place to change, and freshen up after a day in the sun. In addition, the parking lot will be expanded to accommodate more vehicles, making it easier for you to find a spot to park when you visit Romar Beach Access. We understand that this closure may be an inconvenience, but we believe that the result will be worth it. The new bathhouse and expanded parking lot will greatly enhance your experience at Romar Beach Access, and we can't wait for you to see the improvements when we reopen. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this renovation period. We look forward to welcoming you back to Romar Beach Access soon!
All beach accesses owned by Gulf State Park have paid parking. Parking Pay Stations (Kiosks) are in place at the Gulf State Park Fishing and Education Pier and the Beach Pavilion in Gulf Shores and at the public beach accesses in Orange Beach - Romar Beach, Cotton Bayou, Alabama Point and Shell Beach. Before heading out to the beach, put the receipt on the dashboard of your car. Annual and Veteran parking decals must be permanently affixed to the front driver's side corner of the windshield so parking attendants can easily identify relevant information.
Alabama beaches are beautiful and pristine. The Leave Only Footprints program protects our beaches so that we may enjoy the coast for many years to come. You can do your part by following beach ordinances and disposing of trash. You can use our toy boxes found at every beach access to leave toys behind! Take a toy from these boxes as well and enjoy a fun day on the beach! Please help us preserve our beaches while having a relaxing, safe vacation by following the beach regulations.
