    Best Beach in Biloxi

    If you ever have been to Biloxi, you know that most of the beach is a sound, which means the water is stagnent and no waves, ship island is not! There are waves, feels just like a vacation beach with the exception of the hotels,...More

    What fun!

    The ride to and from the island was enjoyable and pleasant. We saw dolphins on the trip out. The weather was perfect, although this is not something that can be controlled. The island is clean and the water is blue. The prices are a bit...More

    Great family day!

    Was second visit & still loved it. Saw LOTS of dolphins on ferry trip over. They also hung around dock area all day. Bird watching, shell hunting, great beach for walking-wonderful way to spend day with my family!

    Loved it!

    Great place to just go and get away!! Take plenty of Sun screen and just enjoy the view, walking on the beach or swimming. We had a great time on the island.

    Great day at the beach

    Always a great day trip when you go to Ship Island. Water was not a clear this time but you never know. Kids had a great time. Bring your cooler--(on wheels) because it's a long walk from boat to beach. All in all----FUN day.

    Great day at the beach. Wear your swim suit. Travel very light. Take small cooler on WHEELS. Must take or rent beach umbrella. Be prepared for the BEACH - no shade except picnic area.

    Absolutely beautiful!!!

    Such a peaceful ride to the island and we saw dolphins which I thought was really cool. Playing in the ocean and just hanging out on the beautiful beach was great.

    Nice to have something to grab on the beach. Burgers hotdogs were good an reasonably priced. It is also a little gift type shop to get a few things
