The Gulf Coast of Mississippi is popularly referred to as the Playground of
the South. With all that Biloxi and the Gulf Coast have to offer, including
a temperate year-round climate and 26 miles of white sandy beaches, there is
no question about how the area earned its nickname. Recreational opportunities
and adventures abound along the coast, ranging from skydiving to golfing, deep-sea
fishing and dinner cruises. Gaming was legalized in Mississippi in 1990, allowing
casinos to pop up all over the coast and become a large source of revenue for
the area. Both Gulfport and Biloxi have many casinos to offer. The casinos have
to be permanently moored on the water to meet state gambling laws that forbid
casinos on land. The Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum in Biloxi is dedicated
to outlining the effect that the industry has had on the area. The Marine Life
Oceanarium in Gulfport offers a Dolphin Interaction Program that allows participants
to touch, feed and interact with the resident dolphins.
