The Margaritaville Waterfront District is officially moving forward in Orange Beach, with the Orange Beach Planning Commission approving the subdivision of 108 acres for what will be a resort-style coastal community. Located just across the Intracoastal Waterway from The Wharf at Orange Beach, this development is set to bring an influx of tourism, boating activity, and economic growth to the area.

With plans for:

âś” 100 condo-hotel units
âś” 49 condominiums
âś” 76,000 square feet of commercial space
âś” 43 transient boat slips

The proximity to The Wharf makes this an exciting opportunity for property owners, investors, and businesses alike.

A Major Boost for The Wharf at Orange Beach

The Wharf at Orange Beach is already one of the Gulf Coast’s top entertainment and lifestyle destinations, known for:

  • The Wharf Amphitheater, which attracts major concerts and events year-round.
  • High-end dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
  • Boating access and a full-service marina, making it a hub for Gulf Coast boaters.

The addition of Margaritaville across the Intracoastal Waterway will complement and enhance The Wharf’s appeal by offering much-needed lodging accommodations for visitors attending concerts and events.

Imagine this: Visitors flying in for a show at The Wharf Amphitheater will now have the option to stay at a Margaritaville-branded resort, just a quick water taxi ride away. This will drive more tourism, increase local spending, and solidify Orange Beach as a premier entertainment and vacation destination.

One longtime Orange Beach resident put it perfectly:

"The Wharf has been a major draw for years, but hotel accommodations have always been limited. Having Margaritaville right across the waterway will be a game-changer—it’ll bring more people, more energy, and more business to Orange Beach."

This connection between Margaritaville and The Wharf will elevate both areas, benefiting homeowners, investors, and local businesses alike.


Increased Boating Traffic and Waterfront Economy Growth

With 43 transient boat slips planned at Margaritaville, the boating industry in Orange Beach will see a significant boost. This means:

  • More boaters stopping in Orange Beach for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
  • Increased demand for waterfront properties, boat slips, and marina space.
  • Stronger local economy from increased tourism and recreational boating.

With Margaritaville’s prime location on the Intracoastal Waterway, boaters traveling between Gulf Shores, Perdido Key, and Pensacola will have a new destination to dock, dine, and stay overnight. More boats, more visitors, and more revenue for local businesses.

As someone who loves the boating lifestyle, I know firsthand that convenience matters when planning a trip. A stop at Margaritaville before or after a day at The Wharf will soon become part of the Orange Beach boating experience.
