Whether you’re drawn to artistic energy, outdoor adventures, culinary treasures, or that signature Southern hospitality, Coastal Mississippi invites you to mix and match your stay. Craft your perfect getaway by blending laid-back beach time with the experiences that move you most.
WHERE TO STAY
THE BEATNIK
Decked out with four floating cabins and a lush native garden, The Beatnik in Ocean Springs offers a modern and sophisticated take on classic Coastal friendliness. While the beach is just south of the hotel, guests are additionally welcome to take a cool dip in the on- property plunge pool followed by an enjoyable night by a fire pit.
THE ALMANETT HOTEL & BISTRO
Just steps away from Mississippi Aquarium, this plush Gulfport hotel and Southern bistro is the perfect starting point for exploring everything the Coast has to offer. With tempting classic Coastal cuisine like catfish tacos, chicken and waffles, and fried green tomatoes gracing the hotel restaurant menu, you might never want to leave.
MARGARITAVILLE RESORT
This downtown Biloxi adventure resort will give kids and adults alike a thrill while splashing through the rooftop waterpark, which includes a 450-foot lazy river, two water slides, a lounge pool, a swim-up bar, and a splash pad. The on-property Paradise Pier Biloxi Amusement Park includes a roller coaster, observation wheel, go-cart racing, and a sky bar.
