This beach was actually much nicer than I expected. It may not be AS beautiful as other nearby,…read moreeasily accessible beaches, but it's also not crowded AT ALL. The sand is white and soft and the water to me was fine. Easy free parking. I guess people complain about it being "dirty" but I lived 32 years along the pacific in southern California and compared to that, the Mississippi coast is practically drinking water. Maybe people just assume it's dirty because it's adjacent to the port and your mind starts to wander.... what's all that machinery putting out into these waters....??? In that regard, the beaches in Pass Christian are nicer because you don't have to look at the port, but when you're a little kid who just wants to run and swim and delight in the ocean, the view just doesn't really matter.

We recently spent a week in Biloxi Mississippi. We stayed in a condo right across the street from…read moreBiloxi Beach. The beach was undergoing some renovation with heavy equipment/machinery bringing in fresh sand. No we were there during the off-season.. the beach itself has beautiful, white sand and was fairly clean. It stretches for quite a ways and there are several beach bars/restaurant establishments on Biloxi Beach that you can dine out at. There's also a large souvenir shop called shark heads on Biloxi Beach that was fun to visit. Because we were there in April, it was a little too cold to spend extended time on the beach, but we enjoyed evening walks to watch the sunset. Note, Biloxi Beach is on the Mississippi sound so the water is brown. You may spot Atlantic bottle nose dolphins!

We stopped here to spend a little time on the beach and experience the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately for us, there are multiple signs that say they do not allow dogs. We travel with our small dog and we don't like to leave her in our vehicle. My husband stayed with her while I checked the beach out for a bit. I really didn't think it was anything special. The sand here is super fine and you will notice that most people are taking their shoes off and leaving them in the parking lot. It's very difficult to get this sand off of you. There was also a smell, I want to say it was like sewage, but it wasn't that strong, just strong enough to make me not want to stay. Because of that I did not venture into the water. As I said, there is a parking area adjacent to this beach and a paved boardwalk that goes around where people were jogging and walking their dogs. This is definitely a functional beach and there were lots of family and children on the beach when I visited.

Front Beach extends for about a mile from the Ocean Springs Pier to the Ocean Springs Yacht Club. The beach is smooth and quite flat with a firm sand and a slow slope that allows you to wade out quite a bit before it even gets up to waist level. Fort Maurepas Park is nearby with a playground and volleyball nets. There is parking there as well as parallel along the beach side of Front Beach Blvd. The beach is clean and free from litter. It gets groomed every morning. [Review 14182 overall, 1504 of 2020, number 72 in Mississippi.]

Before boarding, the small gift shop had some interesting items along with snacks and drinks. The restroom was not what many expected, but come on, it was on a wooden pier! There was a shared sink for hand washing. It was quite clean. Boarding the boat was well organized. Those needing assistance were helped and treated very well. This is an old boat and moving around on open water does require holding on to poles, railings hand holds. The boat has snacks and drinks for sale while underway. The boat captain and crew were friendly, funny, and entertaining. All were interested in ensuring those wanting to see dolphins had plenty of opportunities. Extra effort was made for the kids. Our trip out and back had many sightings. Keep in mind, dolphins are out feeding in the wild. They may or may not be in the area.

According to a resident, locals often frequent Ship Island to sail around on their personal boats, though the Ship Island Excursion boat takes tourists for a 30 minute cruise, at several convenient times throughout the day. The Fort on Ship Island survived Hurricane Katrina, though there was some damage to the amenities on the Island (such as the snack bars and bathrooms). Ship Island is a great destination for fishing and relaxing, and the emerald clear waters are teeming with sealife, and I even saw blue crabs, starfish, pelicans, and...dolphins! Make sure to stay until the sunset, which is spectacular as it illuminates the sky...

We arrived and found where we were supposed to go on the beach real easy. Staff knew we were coming and what we were ready with paperwork and instructions for the jet skis. Once we signed all the necessary paperwork (as the staff members cracked jokes - and in general just had a good time being there) we waded out to the staff member that was going to give us our final instructions and set us off on our way. Large area to play in with the jet skis, probably about 4 football fields wide and 1/2 mile out you were able to explore and have fun. The only rule, don't get near each other (jet skis) because things can get out of hand real quick resulting in an accident. Jet skis were clean and fast, and a ton of fun. If you have kids, one thing to keep in mind, you have to be 18 in order to be a driver. Anyone under 18 rides double behind an adult. Friendly staff and great experience. I would highly recommend these guys if you're looking for a fun gulf adventure.
