Outdoor Adventures in Mississippi

Coastal Mississippi combines Southern charm, rich history, and 62 miles of beautiful shoreline connecting several quaint coastal towns including Bay St Louis, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula. There are plenty of spots to relax and many attractions including boating, fishing, hiking and world-class golf courses. Visitors can adventure out on a Biloxi Schooner sailboat or shrimping tour.

Take the Ship Island Ferry from Gulfport to explore the unspoiled beauty of Ship Island, a barrier island that's part of the Gulf Island National Seashore and only accessible by boat. Relax on pristine beaches, enjoy birdwatching, or tour the historic Fort Massachusetts from the Civil War-era. Coming this summer, visitors can explore Coastal Mississippi on Amtrak with the new Mardi Gras route.

Mississippi’s State Parks provide adventures for travellers of all ages. Visitors can pedal through the woods on the state’s many biking trails, tackle some of the best year-round freshwater and saltwater fishing spots or enjoy equestrian activities. Known for its stunning rock formations and natural beauty, Tishomingo State Park is perfect for hiking and fishing.
