Things to do
Biloxi beaches, museums, charters, and historic sites
Start with the Biloxi Lighthouse and Mississippi Sound, then choose among working-coast museums, Beauvoir, Point Cadet, fishing charters, and a seasonal Ship Island trip from Gulfport.
Point Cadet
Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum
Exhibits cover shrimping, oystering, boatbuilding, schooners, hurricanes, and the industries that built the Mississippi Coast waterfront.
East Beach
Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art
Frank Gehry’s pavilion campus presents George Ohr’s ceramics and Gulf Coast art a short drive east of downtown.
West Biloxi
Beauvoir and Civil War memory
Beauvoir preserves Jefferson Davis’s postwar home and presidential library. Visit for the buildings, collections, and direct interpretation of Confederate history and its legacy.
On the water
Fishing charters and schooner sails
Choose a charter or sailing program by weather, trip length, departure harbor, and the experience your group actually wants on the Sound.
Gulfport departure
Seasonal Ship Island excursion
Ship Island boats leave Gulfport Harbor, not Biloxi. Confirm the operating calendar, weather message, departure time, and island services with the concessioner.
Lighthouse morning
Begin with the city’s shoreline landmark
The lighthouse and Visitors Center make a compact introduction to Biloxi’s beach road and storm history.
On the Sound
Ship Island boats leave from Gulfport
The seasonal crossing reaches Gulf Islands National Seashore; check the operator’s current schedule and conditions before driving to the harbor.
Rod-and-reel morning
Choose a charter by water and trip length
