Boating around Orange Beach combines inland waterways with a coastal environment. Instead of a single lake, the area includes bays, bayous, islands, marshes, the Intracoastal Waterway, and access points to the Gulf of Mexico. Boaters may encounter changing tides, shallow flats, marked navigation channels, and a mix of recreational, commercial, and charter vessels. These coastal conditions can make navigation different from boating on most inland lakes.
