Biloxi Beach

Biloxi Beach
Enjoy relaxed walks on the shores of the Mississippi Sound, dabble in watersports, take a guided tour of a lighthouse and watch fishers from a pier.

Biloxi Beach forms part of a long stretch of white-sand coastline that runs along the Mississippi Sound. With safe swimming, watersports and exquisite views, this is an ideal spot for relaxation and recreational activities. Join local families, couples and groups of friends on a visit to Biloxi Beach and bask in a pocket of coastal delight on the Gulf of Mexico.

Tractors groom the beach regularly and make the soft white sand smooth and clean for everyone to enjoy. Kick off your shoes, wade along the seashore or go for a swim in the calm waves. A beach shop is open from late spring to early fall. Rent beach chairs and umbrellas and have fun on the water with aqua cycles and wave runners.

There are no food stands or restaurants at the beach so bring your own snacks and drinks. You’ll almost always find a quiet spot to set up a picnic, gaze over the glistening waters and admire pretty sunsets. Be sure to properly dispose of any litter and leave only your footprints at the end of the day.

The 64-foot-tall (20-meter) Biloxi Lighthouse rises up behind the beach. Erected in 1848, it is notable for being one of the nation’s few lighthouses to have had multiple female keepers. Paid tours of the lighthouse take place daily. See watermarks that show the damage inflicted by hurricanes Camille and Katrina. Spot Deer Island and the downtown cityscape from the observation deck.

For additional impressive views, stroll to the end of Biloxi Lighthouse Pier, where anglers cast lines and wait patiently for a catch. At the entrance to the pier a sign commemorates the 1960 Biloxi Beach Wade-In. This was one of several wade-in events that led to finally ending segregation at the beaches in Biloxi.

For convenient walking access to the beach, use the I-110 Loop Walk, a boardwalk that juts out over the water and follows the course of the I-110 Interstate highway.

Biloxi Beach is about a 20-minute walk from downtown Biloxi. If you drive, park for free in front of the lighthouse.
