Mississippi’s Coast features 26 miles of white sand beaches, five pristine barrier islands, Vietnamese, Chinese and Yugoslavian settlements, a NASA complex and one of the largest shipbuilding facilities in the United States — all along the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico. From the coastal towns of Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach and Ocean Springs, to the cities of Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula, the Coast has a diversity of natural and architectural settings. To the north is Hattiesburg, home to the University of Southern Mississippi, and a turn-of-the-century downtown as well as beautiful Victorian neighborhoods.
