Beautiful and welcoming little catholic church with a fantastic gospel choir on Sunday late mass and a mural of Jesus behind the altar that is inspiring

After the hurricane the Church needed a great deal of work. Finally the interior is finished. The paint job is wonderful and it really shines. We love all the services there particularly the Tuesday devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Wednesday evening Traditional Latin Mass.

The Museum exhibits hundreds of one-of-a-kind artifacts and an unrivaled collection of vintage photos, which tells the story from the time of the first Indian settlement through generations of immigrants whose journey contributed to the melting-pot culture of the Gulf Coast. The Grand Hall features the "Nydia" a 30' gaff rigged cabin sloop built in Biloxi in 1898 at the Johnson Shipyard. Featured exhibits include shrimping, oystering, recreational fishing, wetlands, marine blacksmithing, net-making, boat building, hurricanes, featuring Camille and Katrina, all the while telling the tale of over 300 years of history, culture and heritage. The Museum is available for special events, meetings, weddings, etc.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this impressive museum! The Hurricane Katrina exhibit and video were riveting! There are interesting displays of the seafood industry, boat building, hurricane history and the impact on the area, and exhibits on the delicate balance of ecosystems (bayou, marshes, and estuaries). We spent 2½ hours exploring this fascinating museum. I would highly recommend it!

This church has beautiful stained glass windows.
We attended the 10 am service on Christmas day. The stained glass windows and architecture of the building are unique. Covid distancing and hand sanitizing was being observed, but communion was very risky, so we did not participate. It is well worth stopping to visit the church.

Ever felt like you were living the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?" Nah, me neither !!!, Until I stepped out of the elevator and walked into the lavish world of the Beau Rivage for the first time !!! It's like you are walking down the yellow brick road with Dorothy and Toto(but Toto is invisible, and Dorothy is that beautiful girl by your side !!! In my case, that would be my sweet and beautiful little wife, the most beautiful girl in the world !!! You might think you could give me someone more beautiful, but Oz never did give nothing to the Tinman that he didnt already have, and, no disrespect, You are not Oz !!! LoL !!! Not to boast, but I'm kinda proud of my baby !!! That brings me to a different set of songs, the ones that are sang and played at the end of the yellow brick road, physical address: Eight75, the name of the lounge just prior to stepping into the gaming area of the casino and also the actual physical address of the Beau Rivage(875 Beach Boulavard, Biloxi Mississippi). Eight75 holds a special place in my heart because it is where she(yes, you guessed it, my beautiful wife) and I began this wonderful life together. We would meet there for a glass of Merlot and would get lost in each other as the band played and as the packed house kept the energy alive with conversation and laughter. One thing(Merlot) led to another(Merlot) and before we knew it, we knew how to dance(Merlot) !!! Neither of us knew how before, but it's like a wizard stepped in and cast a spell on us...wait a minute, that's Merlin(Merlot), LoL !!! Anyway, we fell in love, dancing the night away on the dance floor in front of the band, with lots of other happy couples who didnt know how to dance either, or was it only the two of us(Love) !!! Everyone is there to assure that you have a Great time, from the band to the bartenders to the waitresses to the Beau Rivage itself !!! The scenery is breathtaking and you Really Do get a sense of living the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous !!! Head to the Beau Rivage for a Super Great Time and I'm sure, that you too, will fall in love !!!

Located in a 1915 schoolhouse, under the large live oaks, just blocks from the beach in Gulfport, MS, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is a special place for children and their grown-ups. Inside, 15,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits encourage fun, learning and creativity. Discover different cultures at Celebrate the World We Share, board the train at Dolan Avenue Depot, and create a mini masterpiece at our art studio, Art Knows Anything Goes. Outside, oak-covered acres provide more space to let the imagination run wild. Play house in the trees, tap a tune in the outdoor musical garden, and explore the tiny town of Kids Street. Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is honored to be a recipient of the National Medal for Museum and Library Services, which recognizes exceptional contributions to the community.
We needed to find a place for the kids while it rained. This was it! I cannot speak to the outdoor stuff or the classes but we had great fun inside burning energy. There is a climbing structure in the center, play supermarket, play vet and many more. Seating for adults while the kids explore the building and participate in the different play things. If it’s raining and you need to get out....this is the spot. And, it’s $3 per person from 3-5 each day.

The Biloxi Visitors Center is located in a beautiful building that has some architectural features of a mansion from the Antebellum period. The staff are very friendly and there are many brochures and flyers available offering information on nearby attractions, restaurants and shops. At the rear of the building is a small, but informative museum documenting the history of Biloxi and the various groups that have contributed to the city over the years. This is a good first stop for any tourists who are planning on spending time in the area.

Alice Moseley loved this depot and loved all the beautiful Live Oak trees that surround it and she would have been delighted that her beautiful folk art and her son's antiques have such a wonderful home. The Museum contains over 50 of Alice Moseley's original paintings and Tim Moseley's lifetime collection of art pottery, majolica, glass and primitive furniture. Playing at all times in the Museum is Alice Moseley on her DVD telling her stories and displaying for our visitors the unique and funny and talented person that she was. The Alice Moseley Museum is a Museum, but it is also an entertainment venue. Come to the Alice Moseley Museum and you will leave with a smile on your face and a love of an old lady whose favorite saying was, "Your reach should always exceed your grasp." She is still reaching out to you. Come see her Museum while you are in Bay St. Louis. Admission free. The museum is closed on Sundays and major holidays.
While staying in the area, we planned for a quick stop at the train depot. After viewing the downstairs offerings of local history and unique costumes, we popped upstairs. At first glance it seemed like a sweet exhibit of hobbyist paintings. After a few minutes, the significance started to shine. Alice Mosely painted history. You'll find the South, race relations, women's issues, labor, and life vignettes in her work. And the humor in the details is superb. You'll escape your reality and get immersed into hers.... a welcome break in the day.
