WELCOME TO
Coastal Mississippi
WHERE SPRING & SUMMER BECOME A STATE OF MIND
Spring and Summer in Coastal Mississippi go beyond seasons; they shape the way we live and play!
From April through September, Coastal Mississippi hits its stride. The weather calls you outside, the music gets louder, the seafood gets fresher, and the sunsets linger a little longer. This year, the celebration is even bigger as we join the nation in commemorating America 250 with special events and experiences across Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties.
This edition of the Play Coastal Mississippi Travel Guide is your invitation to dive in!
Inside, you will find a lineup of festivals, concerts, and community celebrations that define our Coastal culture. You will discover chef-driven restaurants, dockside favorites, boutique hotels with character, and vacation rentals that feel like your own place on the beach. Add in world-class casinos, charter fishing, museums, live entertainment, and family- friendly attractions, and you have more than a getaway. You have options!
Whether you are planning a long weekend, a milestone celebration, a reunion, or a spontaneous road trip, Coastal Mississippi delivers the kind of experiences
that turn into stories you tell for years.
America 250 is more than a milestone for our country; here in Coastal Mississippi, it is a celebration of the independent spirit, resilience, and hospitality that have shaped

our communities for generations. As we commemorate this historic moment, we also shine a light on what makes this region unforgettable: authentic Coastal towns, bold culinary talent, a rich and layered history, and a calendar packed with reasons to plan your next visit.
