Things to do in Biloxi/Gulfport MS

Jefferson Davis home.

Dinner at Mary Mahoney's. Bring an empty stomach and a full wallet and leave exactly the opposite.

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is huge and fun!

What to do in Gulfport in July? Stay in the air conditioning!

Margaritaville in Biloxi? When did it reopen? The one on the Back Bay has been closed about 5 years. Did they build somewhere else?

Blow fly inn on back bay I think in dIberville. Great seafood and relaxing view of the bay. Several casinos in Biloxi/Gulfport area. And yes Buffet is back. He opened in the original area that he planned on opening but the first deal fell through. He then went to the back bay but not enough traffic. He is now beach front down on the east end across from what had been a Grand at one time.

Ship Island firework cruise. Haven't personally done it but sounds interesting.

Our Lady of the Gulf Crab Fest is in Bay St. Louis that week. Any food in old town Bay St. Louis is good. Trapani's, The Blind Tiger, Cuz's, Buoys Bar, etc.. Most all is beach front dining.

I believe the Blow Fly Inn in Gulfport was bought out by a fast food seafood restaurant from Biloxi....that's what they told us a cpl years back...C

Not knowing where you are staying in the area, but Davis Bayou Campground, which is part of Gulf Islands National Seashore is a real nice COE campground. Just east of Biloxi 10 or so miles.
And for food – in Bay St. Louis, is The Blind Tiger. If you're a burger fan, it is THE best. Family friendly bar & grill type place that can't be beat!!!

My suggestions:
On Hwy 90 along the beach, watch for the wood sculptures made from trees that were downed by Katrina...they are beautiful.

Gulfport has the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies..dolphins, sea turtles, seals...I think you need to make reservations online.

Biloxi has a lighthouse and my favorite restaurant there is McElroy's HarborHouse.

The Beau Rivage casino in Biloxi has the BEST Sunday brunch, including delicious bread pudding for dessert.

Take the bridge over Biloxi Bay to Ocean Springs, MS. Visit the Walter Anderson Museum of Art (beautiful watercolors) or Shearwater Pottery. And Aunt Jenny's Catfish Restaurant is famous there.

There used to be so many fun places along the beach for children, but so many of those businesses were destroyed by Katrina.

btw, if you need an RV park, we have stayed at Majestic Oaks in Biloxi...not on the beach, but a few streets away. We have also stayed at Cajun RV on Hwy 90, Biloxi, and I think it had damage, but I believe it is now open.

Go to gulfcoast.org and scroll to the bottom of the screen...you will see "Visitor Guide"..digital or they will mail you a copy.

Thanks everyone. we are staying at Gulf Beach RV Resort. definitely doing the National Seashore. I remember looking somewhere online there was a maritime museum with buoys and stuff outside along with indoor exhibits, but have not been able to find it.
