Biloxi: Fun at the Casino, Fun at the Beach

Biloxi in Mississippi is also known as “The Playground of the South”, with parts of the city lying directly on the Mississippi Sound and offering a plethora of fun-filled activities for everyone to enjoy. Barrier islands on the sound make for additional destinations within reach of the city, especially if you love marine life like the loggerhead turtles and pelicans that take shelter on Deer Island. The city is great for those traveling with family, but adults can also have fun at the many casinos in the area, with some even located within a stone’s throw from many top hotels. The Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport is served by four major airlines.
