It is a fun place to visit. There are so many things to do it will be hard to know where to start. How about that beach? The casinos? Do you like to fish or boat? Where to begin, that’s the question.
You will need to eat so one of the first places you start is at one of our excellent restaurants. Try one that offers Gulf Coast cooking including shrimp, crab, and oysters. Gumbo and anything with crawfish is staples on the food front. After you have eaten your fill, why not take a walk on the beach. Try the Biloxi Boardwalk.
Have you ever been down a bayou? Go out on a boat and see live alligators in the swamp. This is a fun adventure and the operators guarantee that you will return safely. If taking a boat to see alligators is too much, visit the Gulf Islands National Seashore in Ocean Springs. You can walk around and see alligators in one or more locations.
Try fishing
Want to try your hand at fishing. Stop by a store and pick up some fishing gear. Try one of the public piers or just fish from the beach. There are about 200 species of fish in waters around the Mississippi Gulf Coast. You can also go out on a charter boat to catch some bigger fish. Leave from one of the marinas along the coast.
Have you ever caught blue crabs? Buy a basket, drop in a chicken leg and lower it into the water. While you are taking pictures of the water and texting friends, our crabs will accommodate you by jumping in the basket. Take them to your vacation rental, boil them, and enjoy.
Rent a boat and navigate our bayous. These beautiful waterways are a unique experience you only see in the South. If you want, pull a blow-up toy around behind for the kids. The water is warm in the summer. Take your boat out to one of our islands for the day.
Is the Mississippi Gulf Coast a fun place
Yes, it is. If the above is not enough, keep reading. How about this for a day. Get up in the morning, and have your coffee or tea at a local restaurant. Eat a benet (a Southern delight) and stroll to the beach. Swim and layout on the sand. Get up, walk to a restaurant, and have a great meal of gulf shrimp overlooking the water.
Take a drive in the afternoon along U.S. 90 in either direction and look at the beautiful homes that face the water. Stop at one of the marina restaurants for a refreshing drink and a snack of fried pickles. Return home and get ready for the evening.
Drive over to one of the casinos that are offering free entertainment, have dinner and cocktails then try your luck or watch the entertainment. After, it’s off to bed to start a new day.
Take a boat to Ship Island
Want to spend a great day on the water. Take the boat to ship island from one of the marinas. Pack your lunch and beverages in an ice chest. Bring your 10×10 awning and towels. Take the ship to the island. Walk to the Southside of the island where waves and crystal clear water await.
You can take a walk around the island and return a few hours later. Perhaps it’s time to rent a jet ski on the beach. Drive around on your jet ski and enjoy our warm water. Jump off and do some swimming in shallow water just offshore. Then ride back and head out for dinner.
This evening, light a fire at your vacation rental fire pit or the beach. Hang around and enjoy the company of your companions. Buy some cooked crawfish, corn, and potatoes at Rouses and have your Boil.
