Pass-Christian
is a city located in Harrison County along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. It's part of the Gulfport-Biloxi metropolitan area. As of the 2010 census, the population of Pass Christian was 4,613. Attractions in the town include the Pass Christian Harbor, an 11-foot high, 350-foot long, concrete breakwater wall that was constructed in the 1950s. There are only two such concrete harbor walls in the world, with the other in Japan. Pass Christian has some of the finest oyster reefs in the world. They lie just offshore and are among the largest on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Nine reefs comprise an area of about 20 square miles. Other things to see in Pass Christian include the Middlegate Japanese Gardens, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and Sherman Castle, a steel-reinforced castle built of solid cement. Sherman Castle has withstood many storms and hurricanes. The city of Pass Christian stood directly in the path of two of the worst hurricanes in U.S. history - Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Katrina. Each hurricane nearly destroyed the entire city. When Hurricane Katrina hit on August 29, 2005, all but 500 homes in Pass Christian were damaged or destroyed. Most of the historic mansions along the beachfront Scenic Drive were completely destroyed. The city has rebuilt and today offers much to see and do, along with a variety of lodging options, restaurants, and unique shopping experiences.
