SIX18 TRAVEL

Perfectly placed to catch a cool breeze from the Gulf Coast, Biloxi, Mississippi, is the playground of the South. Glittering casinos line Beach Boulevard, calling out to your inner gambler; the white sands of Ship Island lure families; and historic sites, such as Beauvoir, beckon to Civil War enthusiasts. The city was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 (a related memorial was even constructed), but the Biloxian spirit is resilient, and many local businesses, restaurants and casinos have reopened. So, take a deep breath of that magnolia-sweetened air and saddle up to the card table, Biloxi is ready to play.
