way of life. That philosophy is one that we embrace through every aspect of the coastal experience, especially through our culinary and recreational offerings.”
Each issue of Discover highlights some of the places and experiences residents love about the Coast. The dining guide leads you on a culinary adventure that focuses not only on local cultural traditions, but encourages exploration through the variety and influence of flavors from all over the world. The expansive dining section features listings of restaurants from each coastal city, as well as reviews and photos from a different selection of restaurants in every issue.
“The Coast’s renowned casinos bring together the excitement
of dining and entertainment. Each casino offers its own special flair and is sure to treat you to an unforgettable experience,”
said Discover Publisher Michael Sunderman. “From gaming and promotions to top-notch dining, amazing performances, and glamorous amenities, you’re sure to get the star treatment! Discover South Mississippi introduces you to all that the coastal casinos have to offer.”
