Things To Do
In Picayune, check out the Crosby Arboretum for peaceful trails and native plants. Grab a sweet treat at Paul’s Pastry Shop, seafood at Fatty’s, or burgers and floats at Frostop. Downtown also has a few shops worth exploring.
In Gulfport, you can stroll the waterfront, visit the Mississippi Aquarium, relax on the beach, or grab fresh seafood along the coast.
For a New Orleans getaway, start in the French Quarter for music, history, and people-watching, and don’t miss beignets at Café du Monde. Try a po’boy at Parkway Bakery, gumbo at Commander’s Palace, and oysters at Acme. Wander the Garden District, enjoy live jazz on Frenchmen Street, or sip cocktails at the Carousel Bar. Families can visit the Audubon Zoo or Aquarium, ride the St. Charles Streetcar, or hop on the Steamboat Natchez for a river cruise.
For all the days along the way
