The Gulf Islands National Seashore is a water lover’s paradise, offering 160 miles of coastline on the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico in both Mississippi and Florida.

This coastline is more than just beaches, however, and includes barrier islands, an abundance of maritime forests, a collection of historic forts, various bayous, and diverse marine habitats.

Wildlife watchers can easily spend day after day seeking out new species to observe, and water sports lovers can easily spend weeks canoeing, kayaking, and swimming in all the different water conditions present.
