Things to do in Biloxi/Gulfport MS

Hello. Looking for things to do in the areas mentioned. will be there the 1st week of July. I have found stuff to do, but looking for other recommendations. have plans on the National sea shore, maybe the maritime museum. will probably do a canoe ride on the wolf river. Ive tried looking up visitor guides, but haven't found anything with any real good info. most states/areas have gone away from printed guides. And their online guides are average at best? looking for attractions and good food.

Ideas?

    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.


    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

    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.

    Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is huge and fun!

    Margaritaville in Biloxi? When did it reopen? The one on the Back Bay has been closed about 5 years. Did they build somewhere else?
  • Dinner at Mary Mahoney's. Bring an empty stomach and a full wallet and leave exactly the opposite.
