Masks Are Now Required in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach
On July 15, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey mandated that all people wear masks when in public and in close contact with other people. Specifically, the order says to wear a mask when you are within six feet of a person from another household at any of the following locations: indoor spaces open to the public, a vehicle operated by a transportation service, any outdoor space where ten or more people are gathered. Masks are not required on the beach as long as you maintain the required six-foot social distance from those outside your group, family, or household.
