Review:
Ship Island is a Gulf Coast island famous for its beautiful beaches and beloved for its close proximity to coastal cities like Biloxi. At a mere 11 miles from the shoreline, Ship Island is easily accessed by ferries, which leave the port at Gulfport at regular intervals. Once on the island, visitors can lounge on the beach under a large umbrella, fish in the salty seas (with the appropriate license), or explore other areas of the small territory. There are chances to enjoy nature with activities like birding, shelling, and hiking, and tours of the island’s historic Fort Massachusetts are also offered by providers.
