Breeze Flights From Tampa Bay, FL to Gulfport, MS From $64*

Gulfport is a coastal town tucked between the Louisiana and Alabama borders. Boasting its own stretch of golden sand beach, there’s plenty of swimming, sunning, fishing, and exploring to do. Make sure to stop for quirky landmarks including the World’s Largest Rocking Chair and the TrainTastic! model train museum. 

Start your day with a tour of Gulfport Beach. Visit Jones Park and snap a picture of the iconic Ship Island Lighthouse. Walk past the Bert Jones Yacht Harbor to spot different ships of all shapes and sizes. Hire a boat to take you out to one of the many isles that are part of Gulf Island National Seashore. Ship Island (for which the lighthouse is named) has plenty of remote coastline to relax on and the remains of the Civil War era Fort Massachusetts to visit. The fort is still completely intact, and its red brick provides a stark contrast to the green sandy dunes scattered around. 

Spend the afternoon on the other side of town at Biloxi Beach. Visit one of the casinos right on the water for some exciting entertainment. Find a spot in the sun and surf and let the waves lap away your cares. Check out another unique lighthouse and the boardwalk stretching way out into the ocean. While you’re in the area, make sure to stop at the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum. The building, several stories tall, is filled with impressive architecture, floating staircases, nautical-themed displays, and full-scale sailboats. 

As the sun sets, make your way to Fishbone Alley filled with fun murals lit up by strings of lights. The area has plenty of options for dinner, including local staples of barbecue, seafood, and pizza. Take a flashlight and go for a night stroll down the beach to round out the evening.
