The major problem is traffic when you try to leave. It's bumper to bumper for 20 miles and takes about 2 hours as they don't even try to make it go faster. If you go, stay in Orange Beach and take the Foley Beach Express. It's a toll road but only costs a few bucks but saves you about 2 hours time.
