About
Located on the Gulf Coast, Biloxi is known as the "Playground of the South." It's home to beaches with sugary white sands and offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including fun on the water, like jet-skiing and sunset sailing trips. The picturesque Biloxi Lighthouse is a landmark as one of the first cast-iron lighthouses built in the South. The city has numerous art galleries and museums to explore, like the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum, featuring 100s of one-of-a-kind artifacts. While you might think New Orleans birthed Mardi Gras, Biloxi actually earned that distinction, as explained at the Coastal Mississippi Mardi Gras Museum. The city has two entertainment districts, one along the beachfront between Debuys Roa and Veterans Avenue and the other in the historic district. You'll find everything from beachside bars and cocktail lounges to juke joints and nightclubs to enjoy.
