From its simple, humble beginnings as a lumber and port city, Gulfport has evolved into a diversified community and is now the second largest city in Mississippi. This picturesque beachfront town on the Gulf of Mexico has a diverse culture and safe, family-oriented residential neighborhoods supported by a strong business center.

Home of the annual "World’s Largest Fishing Rodeo," Gulfport also has about 6.7 miles of man-made white sandy beaches along the Gulf of Mexico. Historic home sites and several motels are scattered throughout to accommodate the golfing and water sport tourists that frequent this unforgettable prime vacation destination.

If shopping is on your itinerary, Prime Outlets offers over 80 famous, brand name stores offering outlet prices. For those who are searching for unique items, there are flea markets or specialty boutiques and antiques stores. Gulfport is also the east coast home to the U.S. Navy Seabees, and their history can be found at the Seabee Memorial Museum. Or if nature is what you’re looking for, daily passenger service is available from March through October to nearby Gulf Islands National Seashore to explore by bike, boat or on foot. You can experience the waterways of Davis Bayou by canoe or kayak, or spend the day fishing in the boat launch area. Private boats or approved charters can transport visitors to several remote barrier islands. Bird walks, marsh boat tours and night hikes are just a few of the free Ranger-led programs offered every month. Don't miss out on your chance to experience this phenomenal string of islands.

After a day of fun, begin an exciting evening with dinner at a local seafood restaurant before heading off to enjoy 24-hour gaming at one of the Mississippi coast’s casino resorts. Although much of the area was severely damaged on August 29, 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, Gulfport has rebuilt and is ready to make you feel welcome and at home. Whether you are looking for a relaxing weekend getaway or an adventure-filled vacation, change your pace and visit Gulfport.
