Surfer Travis Macks
of Pensacola, Florida
catches a wave near
a breakwater in
Orange Beach.
Normally, the Gulf
of Mexico is relatively
placid, and good wave
action only occurs after
big thunderstorms move through the region.
Other popular water
sports include boating,
jet skiing, para-sailing, canoeing and kayaking. Sunken vessels, and
artificial reefs placed in
the Gulf, attract snorkelers and scuba divers.
