The city of Gulfport is, as the name suggests, located on the Gulf of Mexico. It's a beautiful part of the state, with a long beach that stretches along the coast and offers easy access by boat to some of the nearby barrier islands. In the city of Gulfport, visitors can check out the TrainTastic Interactive Model Railroad Museum or spend a day playing at the Discovery Center among other attractions. For a more natural experience, Jones Park has some beautiful access to the waterfront, a quick ride to Ship Island brings access to the historic Fort Massachusetts, and the waters surrounding the island are known to be home to dolphins and seals.
