Main activity
Biloxi beaches, museums, and seafood
Biloxi’s lighthouse, working harbor, museums, seafood, and casino corridor each deserve a distinct part of the weekend.
Trip outline
Beach, museums, and one resort night
A first visit with time for the working coast, Gulf seafood, and casino entertainment without repeating the same waterfront circuit.
Friday
Check in near Beach Boulevard and eat downtown.
Arrive with time to see the Sound, then keep the first dinner near downtown or the small-craft harbor instead of crossing the coast twice.
6:30 PM
First dinner
Start with Mary Mahoney's.
Mary Mahoney’s serves Gulf seafood and Southern dishes in a historic downtown house and courtyard, suited to a reserved, longer dinner near the central casino corridor.
Saturday
Start at the lighthouse, continue east, and return for dinner.
Begin on Beach Boulevard, move to the Maritime or Ohr-O’Keefe museum during the warmer hours, then return to the hotel before dinner and a show or casino visit.
9:00 AM
Breakfast
Start with Restaurante La Hacienda 504 Biloxi.
Restaurante La Hacienda 504 serves Mexican breakfast and lunch near Eisenhower Drive in west Biloxi. Its early opening makes it the practical breakfast before a lighthouse morning.
10:30 AM
Main activity
Walk the lighthouse, beach, and Visitors Center.
Pair the Biloxi Lighthouse with the beach and Visitors Center, then check current MDEQ advisories before deciding whether swimming belongs in the day.
2:00 PM
Afternoon
Choose one museum for the warmest hours.
The Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum covers working-coast history; Ohr-O’Keefe focuses on ceramics, architecture, and Gulf Coast art. Check current opening days before choosing.
7:00 PM
Dinner
Reserve one downtown or resort dinner.
Downtown restaurants sit near live-music venues; resort dining keeps a casino show or gaming floor in the same building.
Sunday
Harbor first; Point Cadet or Beauvoir before departure.
Walk the small-craft harbor before checkout. An eastbound departure favors Point Cadet; a westbound departure favors Beauvoir or west beach.
9:00 AM
Sunday morning
Walk the small-craft harbor before checkout.
Walk the small-craft harbor or Beach Boulevard before checkout; choose coffee independently after checking current Sunday hours.
11:00 AM
One last stop
Point Cadet eastbound; Beauvoir or west beach westbound.
Point Cadet fits an eastbound departure, Beauvoir suits a west Biloxi history stop, and the beach is the shortest final look before leaving town.
