Gulfport, MS
About
Located along the Gulf of Mexico just 90 minutes from New Orleans, Gulfport is a popular destination for enjoying the sun and sand. It's home to beautiful beaches with powder sugar-like sands along warm, azure Gulf waters, like Gulfport Beach, a favorite for swimming, jet-skiing, standup paddleboarding, kayaking and sunbathing. A paved trail running along the beach is ideal for cycling. Sunset cruises, dinner cruises and day trips by boat to the barrier islands are pleasurable pastimes. In the heart of the historic downtown, funky Fishbone Alley features colorful street murals, and restaurants and bars abound. Other highlights include shopping at the Gulfport Premium Outlets, investigating the region's marine life at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and exploring the Mississippi Coast Model Railroad Museum, which covers over 200 years of railroad history.
