The 6 Best Sights & Landmarks in Gulfport, Mississippi (MS)

April 19, 2022 Hana Mouser

Gulfport, Mississippi, one half of the Gulfport-Biloxi section of the Gulf Coast, was very nearly destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. The city has been gradually reconstructed, and the surrounding natural areas have been rebuilding themselves as well. Visit the barrier islands that form Gulf Islands National Seashore, a parkland along the Mississippi Sound. A ferry runs from Gulf Port to Ship Island, with unspoiled white beaches and tidal pools, boardwalks and historic sites to explore.

World's "Largest Rocker"

Reviewed By MNnola - Canby, United States

You can certainly stop by to see the sky-high rocker. You can also take some time to explore the showroom full of beautiful custom-made furniture. There are huge pieces, complete dining and bedroom sets and small items, rocking horses and magazine racks. Then take a few more minutes and visit the factory. You might catch them making one of their beautiful rockers. You can choose from many styles. We have one of their rockers and a custom designed bookcase that we enjoy every day. So stop for the novelty or order something hand made for lasting enjoyment!

I visited in July before Hurricane Zeta hit and messed it up (hopefully they've managed to salvage what they could and fix it up). It was quite interesting with all of the artwork. It was about as big as expected considering it was an alley. I noticed no dirt or anything smelly about it at that time, so perhaps someone's experience with that was a side effect from Zeta.
