When visiting the Gulf Coast, you will undoubtedly be drawn to the waterfront. Enjoy playing in the water and cooling off at the Splash Pad in Jones Park. Visit Gulfport Harbor to see a variety of boats and ships. If you are looking to get away from it all, take a ferry out to Ship Island.

For activities that have their roots firmly planted in the ground, don't miss the Friendship Oak. This oak was already a sapling when Christopher Columbus first discovered the New World.
