- Beaches, culture, food and beaches, culture, food and casinos make perfect getaway -
Welcome to Coastal Mississippi – a 62-mile stretch of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, just a six-hour drive or one-hour flight from Houston.
While the Biloxi Indians first called this place their home, the French soon swooped in to establish Fort Maurepas, a settlement built in 1699 at the site of current-day Ocean Springs. Since then, the area has seen the influence of many occupants and many cultures. Today, Coastal Mississippi is made up of 12 cities and spans three counties. Situated between New Orleans, La. and Mobile, Ala., this little slice of the Southern U.S. offers more than meets the eye!
