New Year's Eve is just around the corner and there are several places to celebrate along the coast. Most of them sell out or fill up on RSVP list so make sure and schedule your day of celebration early. Events for kids, families and adult fun are all on the schedule. Local taxis, Ubers and Lyfts are also prepared to keep the revelers safe as they ring in the new year.

Early risers and young families can kick off their celebrations at LuLu's Noon Year’s Eve and The Wharf’s Kids Confetti Drop, both offering a host of kid-friendly activities. For those seeking evening excitement, Tacky Jacks Gulf Shores and Flora-Bama’s New Year’s Eve Bash provide adult-focused fun, including live music, food, and unique countdowns. Meanwhile, The Wharf’s “Reelin’ in the New Year” Street Party wraps up the night with fireworks and a marlin drop at midnight.
