Live from Gulf Shores & Orange Beach: "One of the treasures on the Alabama Gulf Coast is a little zoo in the heart of Gulf Shores. The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is only blocks from the beach, but a little off of Highway 59 and not easy to see. When you find it, you are truly finding a treasure.
I was talking to a friend recently and mentioned going to the zoo to take some pictures. He asked me what kind of zoo I was talking about. Of course, I had to explain that there is a “real” zoo in Gulf Shores and it is also famous."
