CenturyLink Internet Plans start at $45/mo in Orange Beach

When you tell people you're from Orange Beach, do they assume you're from Florida (or, worse, California)? Do you correct them with a sunny but firm smile to combat their raised eyebrows and clear disbelief?

In fairness to outsiders, Alabama doesn't necessarily have the reputation as home to the South's finest beaches. The state has a relatively meager coastline, especially compared to neighboring Florida, whose panhandle takes up most of what could have been miles of gorgeous Alabama coastline.

As an Orange Beach resident, though, you're in a unique position to sing Alabama's beachside praises. The city's Romar Beach limns the Gulf of Mexico, famous for its silky, white sand and warm, aquamarine water. If you want a slight change of scenery, head just fifteen minutes west to enjoy one of Gulf Shores' many public beaches.

Of course, to make the most of your time in the sun, you need fast updates on weather and surf condition (a pro tip if you're new to beach life: weather and wave conditions aren't immediately apparent from looking out the window, especially during hurricane season).

That's why the city website always lists the temperature and beach conditions, including marine life activity, plus an updated list of flood resources that will help protect you in an emergency.

With affordable Price for Life rates and speeds that soar to 20 Mbps and beyond, CenturyLink is just one more item in your toolbox to prove that life on Alabama's coast is at least as wonderful as a glamorous Sunshine State retirement.
