Fun things to do (note that there are also many organized evening activities planned - see Activities for more information):

There is something for everyone in Biloxi - from landing a big on one of the fishing charters, sinking a 40-footer at a professional-grade golf course, winning big at a casinos, finding that perfect outfit at a charming local boutique or visiting one of our many museums!

With the sub-tropical climate, outdoor activities are a year-round option for Gulf Coast visitors. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will find the temperate climate and natural activities second to none. Whether you take an eco-tour to view the wildlife or rent a kayak and paddle on one of the unspoiled rivers and bayous, you are certain to unwind while experiencing nature at its most pristine. Visitors are always excited to get up close and personal views of hundreds of species of birds, animals, and reptiles, including several threatened and endangered species that call Mississippi home. Other options for exploring the coast are by bike, hiking, and horseback riding.

We hope you enjoy your visit!

Biloxi  Visitor Center - The Biloxi Visitors Center just west of the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino and north of the Biloxi Lighthouse.  The $11 million center, which opened in July 2011, has a series of multi-media exhibits that tell the colorful history of Biloxi, and you can also find out the latest on what there is to see and do during your visit.

Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art - You are invited to enjoy all that makes our Museum unique: the artists, the architecture, the history, and the landscape. Ten years in the making, the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art celebrates the innovative, independent and creative spirit of our namesake Mississippi master potter George Ohr. Just as Ohr (1857-1918) rose from devastating personal and professional loss to create an extraordinary body of work, so too the Ohr-O’Keefe has risen from Hurricane Katrina’s destruction. We view this process as an homage to the enduring human spirit.

Biloxi Lighthouse - The Biloxi Lighthouse was erected in 1848 and was one of the first cast-iron lighthouses in the South. It is the city's signature landmark and has become a post-Katrina symbol of the city's resolve and resilience. 

The light was civilian operated from 1848 to 1939, and is notable for its several female lightkeepers, including Maria Younghans, who tended the light for 53 years. In 1939, the U.S. Coast Guard assumed responsibility for the light's operation.

Fallen Oak Golf Club - “Designed by legendary course architect, Tom Fazio, exclusively for guests of Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, Fallen Oak raises the bar for luxury resort golf in this region. The 18 hole, par-72 championship layout unfolds in a majestic, almost cinematic, invitation to all who love the game.
It's a challenge few can - or should – resist. This is 510 acres of pure heaven… or hell, depending on how your scorebook looks that day. Be among the first to test its hype. Titanium is optional. Nerves of steel are not. The 18-Hole course ranges from 5,267 yards at the front-most of five tees to a hearty 7,480 yards from the tips, and is a Par-72 Layout.

Ship Island Excursions - A seasonal daily passenger ferry service to West Ship Island and Fort Massachusetts (circa 1858), part of Gulf Islands National Seashore. The island is approximately 12 miles offshore from Gulfport offering visitors beautiful Gulf waters for swimming, sunbathing, shelling and more. Mississippi Magazine recently selected the island as one of the top 25 must-see places in the Magnolia State, and USA Today named it as one of the top ten beaches in the United States!
