Hidden Gem on the Gulf Coast
Experience the natural beauty of Kiva Dunes Resort, home to 3,000 feet of pristine, private sugar-white beaches along the Alabama Gulf Coast. Unlike many North American vacation spots with coarse, rocky sand, Kiva’s beaches feature soft, fine white quartz sand that feels smooth underfoot.
This unique sand composition not only creates a comfortable beach experience but also enhances the clarity of the turquoise waters. Here, you can spot sea life just feet from the shore, thanks to the crystal-clear water free of heavy minerals and runoff common in other coastal destinations.
Kiva’s shoreline is framed by rolling white dunes crowned with native sea oats, offering privacy and a serene atmosphere for total relaxation. The sparkling white sand and vibrant turquoise water make this beachfront truly unforgettable.
Unwind in a Kiva lounger, sink your toes into the sand, and immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Kiva Dunes Resort—a Gulf Coast paradise.
Dunes & Walkways
Kiva Dunes Resort boasts a half-mile of stunning private beach, accessible via the Kiva Dunes Beach Walkover—a breathtaking gateway to our pristine white sand and sparkling Gulf waters. The walk itself is an experience, taking you over a majestic 30-foot natural sand dune while immersing you in the area’s unspoiled beauty.
As you stroll the path, you’ll encounter a variety of native plants and grasses, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a nesting sea turtle or jumping dolphins. Every step builds anticipation for the serene escape awaiting you at the water’s edge.

Share the Beach: Be Sea Turtle Friendly
From May to October, Alabama’s Gulf Coast beaches host a remarkable event: the hatching of thousands of endangered sea turtles. Families flock to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach to enjoy the stunning white sands and witness the magic of nature.
During nesting season, you might see a “nest boil,” where dozens or hundreds of hatchlings emerge and make their way to the Gulf. Share the Beach volunteers are often present to ensure their safety and guide any strays. Visitors are encouraged to observe this rare event respectfully.
If you see an unmarked nest or encounter a sea turtle emergency, call 866-SEA-TURTLE to report it.
To help protect sea turtles, follow these guidelines during nesting season:
- Avoid flashlights and flash photography on the beach at night, as sea turtles rely on moonlight to navigate.
- Turn off outside lights after dark and minimize indoor lighting to avoid disorienting turtles.
- Do not disturb nests or marked nesting areas.
- Remove all beach items nightly, like chairs, tents, and toys, as obstacles can prevent female turtles from nesting.
- Fill in any holes you dig on the beach to protect turtles and visitors.
