A Summer Evening at OSO and Bear Point Marina
By Meredith Amon
There’s something magical about a summer evening in Orange Beach, and nowhere is that more evident than at Bear Point Marina and OSO at Bear Point Harbor.
As the sun began to slip below the horizon, casting its final glow over the Gulf waters, I found myself drawn to the gentle hum of the marina. Boats rocked softly in their slips, their silhouettes striking against the fiery gradient of the sky. The air was warm, salty, and filled with the kind of peace only a coastal evening can offer.
I wandered past the glowing string lights wrapped around the dockside bar, where friends were gathered over cold drinks and the occasional guitar strum floated through the air. There’s a quiet charm here—laid-back yet buzzing with life. The reflections of the marina lights danced on the water, mirroring the joy and ease of everyone unwinding after a day on the water.
OSO was alive with chatter, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. The open-air deck was packed with happy diners enjoying fresh Gulf seafood, ice-cold cocktails, and the kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence just to take it in. I watched a sleek sportfishing boat ease into its slip, its outriggers cutting the sky, and couldn’t help but admire the effortless rhythm of life on the bay.
For those of us who call this place home—or for the lucky ones who discover it during a summer escape—it’s evenings like this that capture the soul of Orange Beach. It’s where neighbors become friends, sunsets feel sacred, and the marina becomes more than a place to dock a boat—it becomes a backdrop to some of our best memories.
This is why I love what I do. Whether you’re here to buy a home, find a vacation retreat, or just dream for a little while, I’m always happy to share these moments and help others find their place in this beautiful, boat-loving community.
If you’re ever at OSO or Bear Point Marina and spot someone lingering a little longer than usual to catch that last hint of light—chances are, it’s me.
