Little Pink Houses of Hope

The Alabama Gulf Coast is warmed by sunshine, history, culture and unspoiled natural beauty. You’ll find 32 miles of sugar-white sand beaches made almost entirely of fine, quartz grains washed down from the Appalachian Mountains thousands of years ago. Once you visit the Gulf Coast, you quickly realize the beaches are some of the finest in the world, and one of Alabama’s hidden gems. And you’ll yearn to return year after year to feel the sand between your toes, splash around in the turquoise water, smell the salty air and admire the jaw-dropping sunsets.  Orange Beach, AL has embraced Little Pink families in ways that add to the relaxed feel and charming, small-town vibe.  

Emerald Isle greets Crystal Coast visitors at the western end of Bogue Banks, offering 12 miles of pristine shoreline and incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Inlet. With a focus on family fun, Emerald Isle is a haven for watersports, fishing (onshore, offshore and on the Bogue Inlet Pier), or simply sitting on the sand and enjoying the sound of the waves rolling in.  This small beach town rolls out the red carpet during a Little Pink retreat and highlights an incredibly giving community.

“Lose the shoes, forego the salt and skip the sharks” is the motto of Grand Haven, MI, consistently ranked as one of the United States’ best beaches.  Yes, a best beach in Michigan!  You are never more than a few minutes away from miles of accessible soft-sand shoreline and rolling dunes in the Grand Haven Area. The water is always fresh and free of aquatic man-eaters. The spots for blanket picnics and lighthouse catwalk for sunset interludes are stellar.  The community of Grand Haven has joyfully embraced Little Pink retreat families.  

Lake Tahoe, the clear, cobalt blue lake tucked into the snowy Sierra Nevada mountain range, welcomes Little Pink families to its easygoing and pine-scented atmosphere.  Located atop the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range on the California and Nevada border, Lake Tahoe is widely considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. This natural treasure offers the ultimate high-country experience with superb outdoor recreation and magnificent scenery throughout the year.  Tahoe embodies the American Dream’s concept of “having it all” – it quite literally has it all. Hike mountains trails, bask on sunny beaches, explore the niche shopping boutiques or sit and watch a beautiful sunset on the lake. This retreat is held in Tahoe City, CA.

And after all this time, the familiar, uncrowded beaches still greet anyone who visits this quiet community.  Little Pink is proud to have the support of the Oak Island community that makes this a very successful retreat location.
