Biloxi
is a city in south-central Mississippi, located along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. As of the 2010 census, the population was 44,054. The city adjoins the city of Gulfport and both serve as the county seat of Harrison County. Biloxi's beachfront lies directly on the Mississippi Sound and several barrier islands are scattered off the coast. The city contains 26 miles of white sandy beach and wooded areas filled with magnolias, cypress, dogwood, pine and old-growth oaks. Tourism has become very important to Biloxi. In fact, the Mississippi Gulf Coast was ranked as one of the top three "up and coming" destinations in North America by Foders/ASTA Annual Hot Spot Survey. Biloxi is home to several casinos, which adds even more to its' appeal as a popular vacation spot. It's also home to several historical attractions such as the Biloxi Lighthouse, constructed in 1848, and the Beauvoir, Jefferson Davis Home & Public Library. Tours of historic, downtown Biloxi are also available. There are museums and art galleries, unique specialty shops, stately homes and architecture; plus some of the very best restaurants featuring Cajun seafood this side of the Mississippi River. Activities include swimming, sailing, windsurfing, jet skiing, fishing, crabbing and boat racing. If you visit in late April and May, you'll be treated to a stunning display of magnificent magnolia blossoms. Most of Biloxi's activities are centered around the coast, but you'll find plenty of other non-water-related activities, such as golf. There are over 20 golf courses in the Biloxi area, open to the public and for all levels.
