Biloxi trip planner

A busy city on the Gulf Coast, Biloxi is one of the nation's oldest communities, first settled by Europeans in 1699. Originally named Bilocci after a local Native American tribe, this diverse city is home to world-class casinos, championship golf courses, sandy white beaches, and historic sites. Known internationally as one of the country's top spots for deep-sea and freshwater fishing, Biloxi offers a long beachfront right on the Mississippi Sound, with several barrier islands scattered off the coast. Biloxi's lively nightlife scene, with 24-hour gambling and live shows, may be the area's biggest attraction, but the city also offers a good selection of museums dedicated to the region's art, history, and nature.
