The lowest ten feet of it are well tagged. There is some good fishing here, apparently. This used to be attached to the Hilton/Broadwater Tower, an elegant Art Deco resort on the beach. The Broadwater closed in June 2005. Note that the "roads" here are not paved. Prepare for that. I did okay moving slow and dodging around the worst of the chuck holes.

It can be easy to forget the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The marker reads, "Tivoli Hotel. A six-story, blonde-brick structure with an arcaded gallery that wrapped its first story, the Italian Renaissance Revival-style Tivoli Hotel was one of Biloxi's early 20th century results, built in 1926-27 to designs by local architect Carl E. Matthes. The hotel was expanded in the 1950s and renamed the Tradewinds. The Tivoli was heavily damaged in 2005 when rammed by a block-long casino barge propelled by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge. It was later demolished." Reading some of the stories about the property, it sounds like it was one of the best hotels on the Biloxi beach until it fell on bad times and Katrina was the end of any hope for recovery. Seriously sad. https://misspreservation.com/2009/10/14/the-tivoli-hotel-in-biloxi-the-one-that-got-away/ [Review 14147 overall, 1469 of 2020, number 42 in Mississippi.]

It has six lanes of traffic (three in each direction) as well as a 12 foot wide pedestrian path on the Gulf side. I know all of that because I drove over this bridge at least once a day for each of the five days I was in Biloxi and some times twice or even three times. My friend and I also walked across it from Harrah's to the Ocean Springs side and back. It is 1.75 miles from end to end and has a 95 foot clearance. The bridge is smooth and easy to ride and walk. There are breakdown lanes on each side. There is no toll to cross the bridge. [Review 14124 overall, 1446 of 2020, number 30 in Mississippi.]

It reads, "In 1788, Nicholas and Marianne Ladner became the first Europeans to settle in this area. Their log house, known as "the Chimneys." was used as a navigation point for boats traveling from Mobile to New Orleans. After Nicholas's death, the Spanish granted the land to his widow. Much of modern Long Beach includes the Widow Ladner Claim." It's worth noting that Nicholas's middle name was Christian, as in Pass Christian and Pass Marianne nearby.

This shaded building once hailed as a train station; remains in that style as a architectural gem.

(Please see my photos and tips) Enter, and stop at the video kiosk for a full color brochure. Turn left for the water fountain and a public bathroom (resplendent w art). Or, you can turn right and enter the guidance portion of the visitor center. The high counter (see picture) reminded me of where days of old a ticket master's workstation would be. This small but functional room serves you and any little ones traveling with you well. Brochures line the left side of the room and interesting local art, some tall, fill the space. Center on the floor is a kids visitors table. (How cute and thoughtful) Sign in and ask questions about this interesting Main Street town. (Always sign in, it's a nice thing to do; as it helps the town gauge the flow of traffic to plan outreach for next year) For the Record: This town is a good non beach day kinda place to visit.
