Frequently Asked Questions
The ships that call here are small vessels, typical of Gulf coastal itineraries between Florida and New Orleans. Some land passengers over at Ocean Springs, just across the bay bridge.
Because nobody thought to move it when the city rebuilt the coastal highway around it. The white tower has watched over the Gulf of Mexico since 1848, and it is now the only lighthouse in the United States in such a position.
The lighthouse, the waterfront and its long beach, then the piers where anglers cast from first light. The waterfront museums tell the story of oyster fishing and of the storms.
Yes. A long pale-sand beach lines the boulevard, wide enough for everyone to find a quiet corner. Gulf water is warm all summer but often cloudy: this is not Caribbean clarity.
The waterfront walks easily along the boulevard. For the casinos, the farther museums or Ocean Springs, a taxi becomes necessary: the city stretches for kilometres.
Yes, several, set along the shore. They are a major part of the local economy, but you can spend a whole call without going through the door.
The US dollar, cards accepted everywhere. Sales tax is added at the register and tipping is expected American-style.
Yes for the beach and the piers. Two caveats: summer heat is crushing, and casinos are closed to minors, which limits rainy-day options.
Yes, the city has always dealt with the sea, the storms and the passing of time. From June to November, a hurricane in the Gulf can force an itinerary change and the line will divert the call.
October through May, once the heat drops and hurricane season has passed. Spring is particularly pleasant on the Mississippi coast.
