Biloxi’s long history as a Gulf Coast resort community has earned it the nickname “The Playground of the South,” and you’ll find that that nickname is still quite accurate. In addition to the sugar-white beaches, the local gaming industry attracts folks from all across the South, and locals get to take advantage of the stellar entertainment lineups at the numerous casinos in town.
Seafood lovers will be in heaven, as the local shrimping and fishing industries deliver fresh catches daily to dozens of Biloxi restaurants. The city offers direct access to beautiful white sand beaches, and it’s not hard to find surprisingly affordable condos overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. As home to Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi supports a large population of armed service personnel and civilian military employees, and it’s quite common to spot C-130 variants in the air from time to time.
