Located right on the coast with sand and palm trees abounding, Gulfport is Mississippi’s second-largest city after its capital of Jackson. The city is a diverse one, hosting both local history and a thriving tourism scene. One of the Gulfport’s major draws is its casino, which allows gamblers to enjoy both the slots and the sun all in one place. Like many other towns along the Gulf Coast, Gulfport has a long stretch of pristine white-sand beach—6.2 miles long, to be exact. And in addition to its beaches and the casino, Gulfport is also a coveted destination for water sports and golf enthusiasts.
