Tips from the community

Whilst you’re in the midst of it all in NOLA, you could easily forget how close you are to the sea…and what a sea it is! The Gulf of Mexico is the largest gulf in the world, and is home to an array of sea life. Infact, it is home to 36 different types of Shark! That said, you will be perfectly safe visiting Gulfport’s pristine beaches. You have to take a ferry 11 miles off the coast to the turquoise waters of West Ship Island, which was split into two separate islands by a hurricane in 1969.
