Shell Lot Public Beach Access
Located east of Perdido Pass Bridge, Shell Beach offers an easy access to the eastern most part of Gulf State Park’s beaches. For a small fee, you have easy access to the beautiful white sand and picturesque dunes. This is a perfect place to find seashells along the water’s edge.
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.
