The in between moments are usually what keep a trip from feeling exhausting. Simple things like walking along beach access points, grabbing a bite to eat, or sitting near the water and just resetting for a bit end up making a big difference. The Gulf State Park area is also one of those places where you can slow down without feeling like you are eating away at time, since it gives you space to breathe between more planned activities. Even short drives along the coastline with no specific plan can act as a reset between bigger outings. Visitors often enjoy their trip a lot more once they realize not every hour needs to be booked.
