Great Places to Visit in the United States: The Mississippi Gulf Coast

—In collaboration with Visit Mississippi Gulf Coast

There are some great places to visit in the United States. We are lucky to have such a wide range of natural and man-made destination spots that people from all around the world come to see. An example of a great place that a lot of people don’t necessarily think to travel is the Mississippi Gulf Coast. There are so many things to do there including fishing, golfing, kayaking, hiking, and some great casinos.

The climate is perfect for family outdoor vacations with children, adults, and seniors. Some great pastimes include kayaking or canoeing to the Barrier Islands or paddle trips along the Gulf Coast.

The Live Oaks Bicycle Trail is a great option to view the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast on 15.5-mile bike trail. The trail is a 15.5-mile round trip bike route that is ideal for any level bike rider. This bike trail includes a ride on the Biloxi Bay Bridge where you can enjoy an amazing view of the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Coast also offers a great guided Mississippi River tour to those who like to move at a slower pace and take it all in. The tour includes pristine river swamps, marshes, moss-draped trees and hidden bayous, all without having to spend a lot of energy. These slow-paced activities are perfect if you are traveling with seniors.

If you are traveling with a younger family member, there are eco-tours that explore the wildlife of the area and allow you to get really close to some wild animals in a controlled environment.

At the Gulfport Yacht Harbor, there is a passenger ferry to one of the last undeveloped barrier islands in America that offers swimming and shelling.

What’s great about tourism in the Gulf Coast is that since the entire region has received funding from BP they have really made it a great family vacation destination. They have some of the best spots in the United States and offer a wide range of activities for travelers of all ages and interests.
