The 6 Best Mississippi Gulf Coast Beaches

1. Gulfport Beach

Best known for being a historic shipping gateway to the Gulf of Mexico, Gulfport Beach is also popular amongst beachgoers. This beach offers jet ski rentals and parasailing, as well as a boardwalk for strolling. You’ll fall in love with the soft white sand and gorgeous surrounding scenery.

2. Ship Island

The term “Ship Island” refers to two individual barrier islands known as East Ship Island and West Ship Island. The two islands were established in 1969 when Hurricane Camille hit and split one island into two. Spend the day taking a ferry ride over to these picturesque islands and explore the natural beauty they offer. While you’re here, you can also explore historic Fort Massachusetts. 

3. East Beach

Located in Ocean Springs, East Beach is one of the area’s hidden gems. It’s more popular with residents of the Gulf Coast area than tourists, so it’s perfect for a relaxing and rejuvenating day. Here you’ll find fishing piers, volleyball courts, a splash pad for kids, and cute cafes. 

4. Biloxi Beach

Biloxi Beach is widely known as the most famous beach in the state. No matter how young or old you are, you’ll have a blast when you spend the day at this beach. Biloxi Beach has an array of family-friendly activities, including fishing charters, kayaking, boat tours, and more! Plus, it’s conveniently located near fun-filled casinos, local restaurants and bars, and our luxurious vacation rentals

5. Bay St. Louis

At Bay St. Louis, you can enjoy the same beauty and landscaping as Biloxi Beach, but minus the crowds of beachgoers and tourist attractions. The quaint town surrounding this beach provides unique shops, a marina, free parking, and plenty of romantic spots to watch the sunset. 

6. Pass Christian Beach

Referred to by locals as “The Pass,” Pass Christian Beach is a fabulous place to spend the day with children or your special someone. There is a beachy shack providing chair and umbrella rentals, as well and snacks and soft drinks. It’s known that Theodore Roosevelt used to spend time here writing and enjoying the sun and sand with his friends.
