Biloxi is bordered to the south by a white sand beach... part of the longest man-made beach in the world.
Harrison County is proud to be the home of the world's largest man-made beach. 26 miles of glistening  white sand, majestic sand dunes and a pedestrian pathway, which consists sidewalks.
Adjoining our pristine white sandy beach, is beautiful scenic drive - Beach Blvd. A drive along the boulevard provides a view of the  beach and the Mississippi Sound, historic antebellum homes, and ageless oak  trees. The drive will also give you a view of each of our coastal cities, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, and Biloxi.
So if it's a drive along Scenic Drive or a fun day of recreation or sunbathing at the beach, come see us.... You're gonna love it here!
