It's a mess here right now but it will be better than ever!
In a nutshell
Always a relaxing retreat
doug48 Says: the gulfport city hall was built in 1905 and survived both hurricanes camille and katrina. this beautiful neoclassical revival structure is currently under renovation but is due to reopen in july 2009. for those interested in architecture and history the gulfport city hall...
doug48 Says: the gulfport historical museum was badly damaged by hurricane katrina and is now closed. why this structure is still interesing in that next to the museum is the steeple of a church that collapsed during the storm.
doug48 Says: downtown gulfport was devastated by hurricane katrina in 2005. even to this day many buiness' have not reopened. still an interesting area to drive around and see the effects of this terrible storm.
doug48 Says: most visitors come to gulfport and biloxi to gamble. gulfport and biloxi have a number of casinos that line US 90 on the beach. sadly in 2005 gulfport lost several casinos to hurricane katrina. pictured is the island view casino which is my personal favorite in gulfport.
doug48 Says: prior to the early 1990's the main attraction of gulfport was it's white sand beach. today most visitors come to gulfport for it's gambling casinos. gulfport beach is on the mississippi sound and the water is very shallow. if you are a beach aficionado you will be...

Coop's Rib Crib: Finally, some good barbecue!
vlovko Says: Coop's is a small place, but feels good. The staff (especially Coop himself) are beyond friendly and seem genuinely interested in having you enjoy yourself. It might seem a little pricey, but the portion of the pulled pork sandwich was HUGE! The pork was flavorful, juicy,...
emeril's gulf coast fish house: new orleans style

Hooters: Good Food, Pretty Ladies
Basaic Says: It was so foggy you could barely see the car in front of you when I stopped for the night in Gulfport. I told myself I would walk to the nearest place to eat when I got a motel room. That ended up being a Hooters. For anyone that doesn't know, Hooters is a restaurant that is...
Michael's Nightclub: Nice Nightclub and Sports Bar
Basaic Says: Michael's Club is a combination Night Club and Sport's Bar located inside the Best Western Seaway Inn. It had a bar near the door, lots of tables and booths, a small dance floor, and several TV screens showing various types of sports. I paid $2 for a Sprite (including the...
Copa Casino: No Shortage of Casinos on the Coast
keeweechic Says: This casino is a 500 ft cruise ship which is permanently docked in the Port of Gulfport. It is the only locally owned and operated casino on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It certainly makes you sit up and take notice driving along the beach on Hwy90. There are 825 slots and...
Gulfport -Biloxi International Airport
mjmurphy50 Says: This is perhaps the best small airport in the nation, with a beautiful new terminal building, along with excellent airline service. Hub service to Atlanta, Memphis, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, along with several non- hub destinations make this airport a great way to travel...
keeweechic Says: By Road : U.S. Interstate 10 connects the east and west coasts from Los Angeles to Jacksonville and passes through New Orleans, Houston and Phoenix. You can take Hw 90 as we did for a more scenic route (but slower) from Louisiana to Florida. U. S. Interstates 85/65 and 55...
Helpfulness
We drove through Gulfport and the Gulf Coast area only a couple of days after Tropical Storm Isidore (a diminishing hurricane) swept through there. This photos is what it looked like - you would never have known what these people had recently gone through. Going during Hurricane season - you take your chances. We were only just ahead of the next one coming a few days later.

Ship Island - Another Perspective
Davi99d Says: I must disagree with the author of "Ship Island Sucks" elsewhere in this section. Ship Island is a wonderful national treasure and one to be seen and enjoyed anytime you're in the local Biloxi/Gulfport area.The ferry ride is a bit pricey at $22, but you're buying an hour...
mrpoopy Says: It's ridiculously expensive - $22 for the boat out there, $10 for a beach umbrella once you get there (there is NO SHADE on the island). Aside from the historic fort (which is interesting, albeit for about 45 minutes) and the beach, there is nothing to do out there. Take a...
When in Gulfport you have to go Deep Sea Fishing. The Gulf is much calmer then the Atlantic so it is more enjoyable for those how have a weak stomach.
Equipment: Everything you need is provided by the captain of the boat so all you need to bring is your party

Favorite thing: Visit the beach!! Although most of the beach is man-made (sand is moved in with heavy equipment), the water is quite a lovely sight to behold! There are several gambling casinos along the coast, if that is your thing, but I would recommend the Marina attractions. There are boating trips to be taken, an aquarium to visit, and fishing to be done! If your a less active type, just walking along the coastline and settling down underneath the shade of a gazebo for lunch would be a viable alternative.
Fondest memory: My fondest memory of Gulfport thus far is not of Gulfport, itself, but when my brothers and sisters came to Gulfport to visit! My husband, brothers and sisters and I had an absolute blast! We went to the beach, to the casino (there was a country music concert still going on when we arrived!), drove along the coast and shopping! Oh, it was so much fun!
