NASCAR on the Water


Thunder on the Gulf, held Aug. 17th – 20th in Orange Beach, really is like NASCAR on the water. The fastest boats on water, some equipped with 4 engines generating 4,800 Horsepower and reach speeds up to 170 MPH, will be racing a course that stretches from Phoenix East to Phoenix I. It’s an incredible sight to see machines that powerful and fast racing just 100 yards off the shore. Viewing from the beach is free, but it’s better from the comfort of a Gulf front condo.
As part of the celebration of events, The Wharf will host the All American Jam concert at the Amphitheater on Saturday, August 19th. Performers include the Marshall Tucker Band, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and the Georgia Satellites.
Make your reservation soon, rooms will book early for this big weekend.
And remember to look for Beachin’ Bob at the festivities.
