a picnic, kayak or catch your dinner fishing! And Shearwater Pottery is where you can visit the historic studio and get some culture before you hike the nearby Tidelands Trail.
The Biloxi Bay Bridge is, well, it’s a bridge from Ocean Springs to Biloxi so I guess it counts as a little of both towns. No matter, it’s a great place to walk,
run or ride your bike and get some truly amazing views of the entire area.
Who doesn’t love waterslides? In Gulfport, Gulf Islands Waterpark is a great way to spend the day zooming down their rides, slides and playing in the pools. A visit to Jones Park offers walking trails, a marina, playgrounds and more beaches!
Biloxi
Pass Christian has a wonderful historic district perfect for walking or
a leisurely ride admiring the beautiful homes and views of the Gulf. You
can enjoy playgrounds, tennis courts, walking trails and memorials dedicated to local veterans at War Memorial Park. And Pass Christian Beach is yet another in a long line of great beaches the Coast has on offer.
In Biloxi proper, the old standby is Biloxi Beach. It’s the old standby because it’s so awesome! You can do all the typical beach things there, swimming, jet skiing, those paddle tricycle things, kite flying and
good ol’ chillin’. Ship Island Excursions will also take you out for a day of
beach activities as well as exploring Fort Massachusetts and, if you’re lucky, some dolphin watching!
