With 26 miles of pristine coastline, you’re guaranteed breathtaking views with a perfect spot in the sand to just relax. If just relaxing gets old, don’t worry; luckily we have over 20 gorgeous golf courses created by the masters of the game where you can tee off to your heart’s content among the natural splendor so prevalent on the Mississippi coast.

Then there’s the lure of the deep blue sea—the Gulf of Mexico, to be exact. If you’re a passionate angler then you’ve come to the right place. Whether you prefer your catches straight out of the Gulf’s saltwater or from the freshwater rivers and byways, there’s more fishing opportunities here than you can shake a fishing rod at!

And if you’re not so lucky with your rod and reel, try your luck at any one of our 11 casinos. With slot machines, poker rooms, roulette, and a host of other games, you’ve landed in a gamer’s paradise. If you get tired of the non-stop casino action—since all the casinos are open 24/7, we do mean NON-STOP—pamper yourself at a spa, take in a head-liner in a theater, or savor a sumptuous meal at one of the many award-winning upscale restaurants or casual eateries.

No matter what you crave, we have it! From teeing off in paradise to winning big at blackjack to finally reeling in that award-winning haul, your first trip down will definitely not be your last. Come see what surprises await you on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

surprisedThe Mississippi Gulf Coast is unlike any place you’ve ever visited. Some destinations have great golf or luxurious casinos. Others have fantastic fishing or sun-drenched beaches. But only one destination has all these things and so much more—the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Gems of the Gulf Coast: enjoy

these suggestions for great day trips around the area!

DAY 1:

Enjoy an excursion aboard the Biloxi Shrimp Trip where

you will be regaled with tales of shrimping, fishing, and

Biloxi history. Cross the street to see the new Hurricane

Katrina Memorial built by Extreme Makeover: Home

Edition on the Biloxi Town Green. Spend some time

at the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art to experience the

creations of George Ohr where you can try your hand at

some pottery creations of your own or watch an artist at

work at the potter’s wheel. Become a “foodie” for the after-

noon with a culinary demonstration by one of our local

chefs. Cruise the coastal highway to discover our new tree

sculptures, created by regional woodcarvers, that turned

trees destroyed by the hurricane into works of art.

Discover why America comes to NASA’s Stennis Space

Center before blasting off into space as this is where the

space shuttles’ engines are tested. Before your journey,

you will be taken to the Launch Pad to prepare for your

mission then on to a narrated tour through the nation’s

largest rocket test complex. You will see exciting dis-

plays, exhibits, and unique presentations designed to

educate and entertain.

After dark enjoy the shows, entertainers, dining, and

gaming at our coastal casinos.

DAY 2:

Travel east to Old Town Ocean Springs and spend the

morning visiting the many boutiques, galleries, and

restaurants this quaint artisan town has to offer. Don’t

miss the Walter Anderson Museum of Art to enjoy the

distinctive works of this renowned artist.

If the waters of the Gulf of Mexico are beckoning,

relax aboard the Biloxi Schooners, replicas of the

oyster schooners used from the late 1800’s to the

early 1900’s. Ship Island Excursions—docked at the

Gulfport Harbor—has a new Dolphin Tour aboard the

Pan American Clipper that will take you into the Gulf

of Mexico where you’ll be surrounded by playful dol-

phins. Soak in some rays on the beach or take in some

history at Fort Massachusetts on beautiful Ship Island.

DAY 3:

There’s plenty of casting and chipping to be found on

the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Charter fishing captains stand

ready to take you out into the Gulf for the finest fishing

you’ll ever find. For landlubbers, challenge yourself to

a round or two at our premier golf courses, created by

renowned designers Tom Fazio, Jerry Pate, Jack Nicklaus,

and Arnold Palmer.

Aside from being a golfer’s and fisherman’s paradise, the

Mississippi Gulf Coast is also a shopper’s dream. Prime

Outlets is the place to be to find terrific buys at stores

like Hilfiger, Polo, Nike, Gap, Banana Republic, and

many more shops at great outlet prices. Just minutes

away, browse the bargains at Crossroads Mall, home to

TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Academy Sports, Shoe Carnival,

and more.

Looking for someplace special? Spend the day in the

Bay. After a beautiful Gulf view drive west, cross the

Bay of St. Louis into a shopping and dining paradise.

Mississippi’s West Coast is home to more than 200

resident artists who create fine and folk pieces exhibited in

galleries that will take your breath away. Visit St. Rose

de Lima, an African American-based Catholic Church

which holds a truly magnificent surprise! The historic L

& N Train Depot, home to Hancock County’s CVB, is a

convenient rest and information stop. Shop in designer

boutiques, galleries, speciaty and garden shops, book

With four golf courses rated 4.5 stars by

Golf Digest’s Golf Guide and one course

making the Top 100 Golf Courses 2007-

2008, we have good reason to boast of

the greatest greens around. Not only

have some of the game’s best designers

created some stunning settings for

you to test your talent, but they were

aided by Mother Nature to create a

virtual fantasy land for golfers of every

skill level. Gentle rolling hills and majes-

tic pines accentuate the fairways. The

Gulf Coast’s wetlands and marshlands

provide natural water hazards, and the

native wildlife serves as an audience on

every hole. Turtles, egrets and hawks

are glad to keep you company as you

tee off.

Another plus about golfing on the

Mississippi Gulf Coast is that all 20

of our golf courses are within close prox-

imity of great dining, nightlife, lodging,

and—most importantly—each other. So

you can golf one course in the morning

and golf another course in the afternoon

with plenty of time for a succulent dinner

or a stupendous live show at a casino.

We’re quickly becoming a favorite desti-

nation of golfers from around the world

and when you get a look at our stunning

courses you’ll quickly see why. So whether

you’re a beginner or you could give Tiger

a run for his money, golfing on the

Mississippi Gulf Coast will keep you

swinging time and time again! Fore!

roundThanks to our near-perfect temperature from January to December, when you tee off on the Mississippi Gulf Coast you can bet you’ll be in short sleeves.

Sure, you have your pick of the eateries you know and love but you definitely need to try some of our one-of-a-kind, diet-busting, mouthwatering restaurants known the world over. One cuisine the South is definitely known for is barbecue so taste some of the best at The Shed in Ocean Springs where a smiling pig wel-comes you, but you’ll be the one smiling when you leave! If tuxedo-clad waiters and white table cloths are more your style, Vrazel’s Fine Food Restaurant in Gulfport is a must with sumptuous coastal dishes in an elegant atmosphere right across the street from the beach.

Why not eat like a movie star and stop in at Oscar-winner Denzel Washington’s favorite spot just a poker chip’s throw from the casinos at Mary Mahoney’s

Old French House Restaurant in Biloxi? Serving fresh-from-the-Gulf seafood for over 40 years, Mary Mahoney’s is famous for its gumbo (Denzel’s favorite), steaks,

and save room for its celebrated bread pudding. You can get to The Blow Fly

Inn in Gulfport by land or water but no matter how you get there, you can’t miss out on this local legend that has been featured on the Foot Network, Emeril Live, and more.

From barbecue and seafood to burgers and steaks and so much more…if you’re hungry but you’re not sure for what, then you better get yourself over to Shady’s Global Grille with locations in Ocean Springs and Biloxi. With a Creole cook and a Thai chef in the kitchen, Shady’s offerings are seemingly endless and return trips are recommended!

So no matter what you’re craving, the restaurants on the Mississippi Gulf Coast are guaranteed to satisfy and you can be sure it will all be served with an extra helping of Southern hospitality at no extra charge.

coastThere’s no way you’ll go wrong if you let your taste buds lead the way while you’re on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Shady’s Global Grille & Oyster Bar is a hit with visitors and locals alike in Biloxi and Ocean Springs. Renowned along the Mississippi Coast for its eclectic menu, we tried to get owners Chuck and K. Shafer to share with us their award-winning gumbo recipe but like Colonel Sanders and his 11 herbs and spices, they were not going to share! However, we were able to score their recipe for delicious Pad Thai Shrimp that puts a Mississippi spin on an Asian favorite! Shady’s signature martini, The Drunken Monkey, is the perfect elixir to counteract this spicy treat.
