I’ve mentioned before here on my blog that our family really looks forward to the weekend getaway we take to the Mississippi Gulf Coast each year once school is out. It’s a trip we’ve taken every year as long as I can remember, and it seems like we always discover something new each time we spend a few days there. There is so much to see and do on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that it’s hard to decide where to begin when planning your Mississippi beach vacations.
One fun, family-friendly activity you might want to check out while visiting the Gulf Coast is the fishing charters, guided by boat captains who know where to find the best catch of the day and aim to make your fishing experience one you won’t soon forget. Our family has yet to try this, but it’s definitely one activity we look forward to and have heard so many great things about. If fishing isn’t exactly your thing but you would still like to experience sailing on the gulf, there are daily excursions to Ship Island, home of Fort Massachusetts.
I highly recommend checking out the Walter Anderson Museum of Art if you are in the Ocean Springs area. It’s probably, hands down, my favorite place to spend a little time while on the coast. Anderson’s works on display are beautiful and definitely worth the drive over the new Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge, which is a work of art itself! If you love exercise, there is a pedestrian trail also located on the bridge for a fabulous gulf view while you exercise.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast has it all: miles of beaches, delicious, local flavor dining, family friendly events and activities, fabulous shopping, casino gaming, and so much more. It’s the perfect place to bring the whole family to unwind and savor the summer!

I remember oh so well our visits to the Mississippi Gulf Coast as a kid. It’s been a while since I’ve been there. I wonder how much it has changed.
Dee, it would blow your mind! It’s full of casinos now. It’s sad because Hurricane Katrina wiped out alot of the old and faithful businesses there, but the Coast is really coming back.
