As someone who has lived in Gulfport then Biloxi for 16 years, I can tell you that Gulfport is the trashiest place in Coastal MS. Especially south of the Interstate. Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Long Beach & Pass Christian are all pretty nice, but Gulfport is the blight on the area. It’s because of the people that live there, the city tries really hard to make it nice but the crime keeps getting worse.

I'm from BILOXI,MS and have lived here 47 yrs and it's good to see my hometown on KZfaq. The gulf coast is truly a hidden paradise. Thanks for the video and I love what yall are doing and keep up the good work

Bought a small house for $120,000 here in June and had new floors put in and had it painted. Moving in Saturday. Just fell in love with the area.

I live in Gulfport... I've been here for 52 years. I've lived in other states Virginia Beach, Las Vegas, San Antonio Texas... visited many others but I've always loved Gulfport and I've always come back home, I'm 62 now and I'll be here for the rest of my life.

Mississippi is one of the best kept secrets in the country! I AM MISSISSIPPI PROUD!!

Gulfport is the more chill side, whereas Biloxi is the more touristy casino driven side. Nice to see Gulfport post Katrina because it really did a lot of damage to the Mississippi coast despite the focus being on New Orleans.

A LOT of our Military retire in South Mississippi along the coast. It is called the emerald gym known for all the live oak trees. Yes you can walk barefoot on our beaches because we have machines that sift the sand regularly due to storms.

Born an raised here! Thank you for shedding light on the coast not many people even know about our coastal areas! ❤️

I can remember what that area looked like after Camille in 1968 and Katrina in 2005 came through. I can't believe the area is still habitable after seeing what I saw back then.......anywhere near the beach was totally wiped out. Having relatives in Biloxi I drove my truck down there loaded with anything I could think of that would help...wasn't even sure I could make it past the National guard, but once on 11o going down into Biloxi, they saw what all was loaded in my truck and just waved me in. Terrible destruction but the people were inspiring. Never saw any federal support...maybe too early...but pickup trucks loaded with cases of free water were parked by roads, churches were taking deliveries of semi tractors of relief supplies sent by other churches around the south and neighbors were helping neighbors.

I retired here in Gulfport 3 years ago and absolutely love it. To me it's like paradise without a huge cost of living.

Gulfport is a hidden gem. Quiet, clean and just a great place to enjoy the beach and relax. It is a welcoming, friendly community. I just hope it remains this way.

Spent about 20 years going there annually for military training. Had a great time every time we visited. A great place to vacation for sure…

You missed Crusin The Coast Oct.1-8 Gulfport and the entire area along the coast was the host of the largest Car Show in America. This year 9618 Classic Cars registered this year. a huge block party indeed.

Thank you for showing how beautiful Mississippi can be. I live in Long Beach which is next to Gulfport. From the west it’s Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi. Most people hear MS and think uneducated, backwoods, racist, and poverty driven. We are so much more than that. The stereotypes come from the MS Delta area which is far north. Thank you again for showing how much more we are. I’ve lived here all my life. Katrina about wiped us off the map but our communities came together and we’re better than ever. Love and appreciation from the MS Gulf Coast!

Thank you, kind sir, for your positive review of Gulfport and the Mississippi Coast. As a lover of the area and homeowner, I appreciate you letting people know how nice it is down here. I hope everyone treated you well while you were here. I am going to watch the Biloxi video now. I just wanted to thank you because people don't know how much the Mississippi Gulf Coast has to offer. Thank you for all of the kind words! God bless!!

I came to the MS Gulf Coast on vacation nearly 30 years ago. I fell in love with the quaintness of the towns and when I crossed the Bay bridge between Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis I had this sense I'd never felt but knew I was home!! I have been here on the Coast since and the greatest thing going here on the Coast and beyond on MS are the people. Life here is easy, laid back, and steeped in history because New Orleans is an hour away, Vicksburg to north, and so much more like the fishing, best food hands down, and the sweet tea and friendly "How y'all doin??". I survived Hurricane Katrina and witnessing this community coming together to recover from one of the worst natural disasters in the US, was humbling. We are a poor state yet are rich in all the qualities I never found moving around the world as a military brat.......so c'mon down and thanks for the awesome video of my favorite place on Earth......#MSGulfCoast

I’m amazed to see the beauty of the MS. Gulf coast post Katrina. I came down here in 95 and 96 to visit my grandparents (dad’s side), totally loved it!❤ Grandma was originally from Gulfport MS.

I drive that beach almost every week. Such an amazing drive, but the beaches get better the further east you go. Dauphin Island is more beautiful, and Orange Beach if more than that, then Pensacola Beach is even better, and by the time you get to that Destin to Panama City Beach area, it’s breathtakingly beautiful.

I've lived in Pass Christian, Ms for 8 years now. Thank you for showing my beautiful Mississippi through your eyes. I've fallen in love with its beauty and charm all over again!

What a lovely, clean-looking place! So nice to see such a well-maintained town, with no trash in the gutters or on the sidewalks. And that white sand is beautiful! I'm sure there are many people who would never envisage a town like this whenever they think "Mississippi", and I confess, I am one of them. Or at least, I was 😁

I went to biloxi Gulfport as a kid took my two girls back as a adult and plan on moving there once I no longer have kids at home it’s a beautiful place people are absolutely the nicest of anywhere I’ve been they have a lot they should be proud of see you all in the near future

Sir, you drove right by our home on 2nd st. When you turned left off Thornton. Born and raised in Lafayette my wife and I have retired here in Gulfport. Yes, it’s not perfect but what city is but having lived in Ventura, CA for 10 yrs (79-89), As well as Houston and Galveston, Gulfport is a wonderful place to live. The people are friendly and there is plenty to do. We can walk to the Aquarium from our house. As for as the cost of Housing, a custom home around 2nd St will cost you $500 to $1M and up. We’re 1 block off the beach so the further you get from the beach the cheaper it gets. Great video and best of luck.

Nice video.....helpful tip from a local, its pronounced Bil-luxi. The O has a U sound. Its amazing how much the Gulf Coast has grown in the 40 years I've grown up here. Im from Ocean Springs and I can remember as a kid, downtown O.S. was a ghost town for the most part. A far cry from what it is today. Enjoy your time here.

Gulfport is beautiful! Love the art in the Allies. Drone footage was nice. The homes along the beach were gorgeous. Thank you for the wonderful tour! Great information.

I appreciate this video and I look forward to Biloxi. I am a Mississippi Gulf Coast native and I appreciate the respect you have shown my home. I am a Biloxi girl, so I can’t wait to see what is next. I liked, subscribed, and hit the notification bell.

My daughter lives in Gulfport! I got to visit back in May the gulf was so beautiful! Will definitely go back! Thank you.

The reason the beach water is brownish (brackish) is because two rivers on both sides of the coast run into it. Also, there are little to no waves due to barrier islands blocking them.

So, I've been living here for 5 years now. Well done vid!! Honestly the housing prices especially the rentals are a lot higher than what you mentioned. Everybody seems to be in a panic buying mode right now with the interest rates going up. Been to Shaggy's and Rooney's both more than once! You should check out downtown Ocean Springs. That's where I live currently! I've been working on buying a house for some time so I'm pretty familiar with the market these days, sadly.

I really enjoyed the intro to this video. The leaving Lafayette and driving over the Atchafalaya through Baton Rouge and New Orleans into Mississippi with the accompanying music was really well done. I also enjoyed seeing Gulfport.

My late mother in law lived in Pascagoula Mississippi. Just a little ways outside of Gulfport. She passed away from a heart attack at age 69. I still miss her. I was in my 30's then. I'm 69 now!

Hi Lord Spoda Saw the video just now. Wow! Gulfport, Mississippi is a very beautiful town. Very picturesque, neat and clean. Peaceful surrounding. Nice houses all over. The beach is so nice. This seems to be a Wonder land! Really enjoyed the video. Your videography is equally good, professional! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. All the best for onward journey.

Thank you for bringing back so many memories. It has been almost 20 years since I moved from Biloxi. If you're still in the area and you like really good bbq, check out The Shed. It is just north of I-10 in Ocean Springs. Take the exit for Hwy 57. Definitely worth the detour!

Retired NYC drummer/bartender that can't tell you how much I enjoyed the video... I will be heading down that way for a look see... Great job and thanks...JJ

I love Gulfport. I lived there at one time. I lived in Biloxi, also. I was living in MS when Camille hit in 1969. I had not moved to the coast yet. I was about 80 miles inland, but I did see the devastation up close and in person. All of the beautiful Antebellum homes along US Hwy. 90 were destroyed. There was nothing left of them except the steps leading to what was a front door and fireplaces. So, only the brick parts were left. If you think modern-day is beautiful, and it is, you should have seen pre-Camille days.

I have always said Gulf Port and Biloxi are my Paradise!! My allergies go completely away and the air is simply Heaven !! Still miss the before "Katrina " Paradise and still mourn its loss.

Live in Long Beach ms, one thing about downtown Gulfport a lot of the town was filmed for the astronauts wives show. The largest Cruz for classic cars is all down the coast. Lots and lots of places to go and do. Great for retirement and also families. I moved from small town Virginia to here and fell in love and have made it my home and started a family. I work at the shipyard and also going to be in the air force reserve and be based at Kessler. My great friends are chiefs in restaurants down here. it’s great eating and also there is always something going on down here.

No matter the size of the port on the ocean, i just love the boats of all kinds. Awesome!

All in all, thank you so much for bringing positivity to our little coast line and our state with your incredible videography and commentating.❤️

I have 2 rental properties on the beach in Gulfport. I could see them in the drone footage. I’m so glad you liked our city. If you ever want to come back and explore some more I’ll put you up for a few days 💙

I'm stationed at NAS Pensacola and routinely fly into Gulfport, but have never ventured into the city. Cool to see it!

The Ms Gulf Coast is longest manmade beach that stretches 26 miles. If you take tour boat to Ship Island, you' ll see much clearer water. The Barrier Islands make water brown. I was born and raised on Coast and suggest you take the whole coastal tour. Find some Coastal Cusine and enjoy some of the friendliest natives you have ever met. Ocean Springs is nice as well.

Y'all did a great job on the Ms Gulf Coast !! I call Gulfport Mississippi Home for 10yrs now. I'll never move from here. People are Great 👍

Howdy great to have you down here. We live in the little city of D'Iberville,just north across the bay from Biloxi. Hope y'all have a great time. We are in a nice little 3 bedroom house we just bought about 3 years ago when I got back into the country. Very quiet mixed neighborhood. Paid $114,500 for our house about 3 miles as the crow flys from the beach😊👍🙏.

Brings back fond memories. You drove past where I once lived on Beach St "Hwy 90" just east of Hwy 49 in Gulfport. Lived looking out over the Gulf. But we moved north many years ago, the place where I lived isn't there anymore. It's a vacant lot after Hurricane Katrina. I loved the Gulf coast, and maybe some day I'll move back now that I'm retired. Thanks for the ride, enjoyed it.

2:51 The route you took on US 90 you would have passed the site on 90 where Jayne Mansfield died. The car she was a passenger in, ran into and under a semi. Her daughter, actress Mariska Hargitay was also in the car in the back seat asleep. Jayne's driver didn't see the semi. Today when you see these big rigs you will notice a red and white steel cross bar on the lower rear of the semi to prevent cars from going under the rig. That device is called the Mansfield bar because of what happened on that highway in 1967. You would have passed the death site on 90 near Slidell.

Hurricane Katrina really slammed this place Good to see it recovered !!!

Thank you for showing our little corner of the world. Most people are surprised that Mississippi has a Coast.

Very beautiful and underrated. Love the beach lack of shells is easier on the feet. Love the channel. We really loved your Wichita vlog. Safe travels.

I live just outside of Dallas now, actually moving soon to the MS Gulfcoast, going to be looking for a house in Gulfport. We visited once and have been back since. Definitely fell in love with Gulfport

I’ve spent most of my life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thanks for your video, makes me appreciate my home even more. Wonderful footage, great commentary.

I love to see people enjoying the B.E.A.utiful Mississippi Gulf Coast! I live in Gulfport, and I love it here. I sincerely appreciate how you appreciate Gulfport! This place is a hidden treasure.

My sister was stationed in Biloxi back in 1974 and Gulfport is where I first laid eyes on the ocean, and I’ve been in love with the ocean ever since. Thanks for the awesome video and for refreshing my memory!

Look how clean it is

Well my friend I'm from Biloxi Mississippi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast is absolutely gorgeous born and raised wouldn't live anywhere else in the world Elvis is also from Mississippi he used to hang out in Biloxi played in Biloxi God bless

The waters just beyond the sand is called the "Mississippi Sound".

I grew up in Orange Grove/Bel Aire on Ben Drive which is part of Gulfport now. It was good times then, my friends and I walked everywhere back in the 80s, not a worry in the world and us neighborhood kids all got along pretty well. I’ve heard it’s went downhill since then. I have family there on the coast and my mom owns a rental property and land. I haven’t been back since 2001 and have no desire now to ever go back. I love living in a county of 1800 people with the wide open skies of Kansas where I can hunt to my heart’s desire.

Driving footage at the beginning is back! Thanks!

You should see the area during Christmas. Absolutely beautiful

I'm born and raised in Woolmarket, I've been in Gulfport/Biloxi my whole life. We have Jeepin the Coast and Cruising the Coast that are incredible events that make our Coast a big destination as well as the Beach and Casinos. Yall did a great video.

Beautiful video. I especially appreciate the traveling intro and the drone shots. Thank you!

I grew up on the coast, will always be home for me. Love my roots Sip Girl

I'm from gulfport ms lived there all my life love it very much and Camille hit in 69 not 68 it will always be home to me thank you so much for showing are beautiful town.

Im The Local Born Park Ranger...Actually!! You are standing in the Mississippi Sound.. The Gulf of Mexico is about 12 miles out.. other side of the Barrier Islands.. Glad You enjoyed the MS Sound and the Coast! I was Born in Gulfport, Been on Coast 34 Years... Rode out Hurricane Katrina in Highschool...Twin cities??? Biloxi was founded around 1699 Gulfport wasnt i corporated till 1898.. used to be Mississippi City... Oldest House in MS is the Krebs House in Pascagoula. A perfect example of Colonial French Construction built in 1757...Im not knocking the video but the terminology is a bit incorrect. Ocean Springs was voted by USA today in 2022 as the #1 Best Small Coastal Town in the USA to live..!

Thank you for the wonderful review of my state! There are some jewels on our coast. Along Beach Blvd you can see that so many people did not build back after the devastation from Katrina. So happy to see you enjoyed it.

Yrs ago my brother was stationed at keesler..spent a week in Gulfport in 1960. Thought it was soo lovely .. Made it a point to come through on 90 in about 1996... Lovely still.. Decided to move here in 2011.. Lovely clean shoreline lots of great things like Mardi Gras And cruisen..never regretted Blessings to all

This is pretty cool. I believe at that turn at 4:30 if you looked towards the water there would be the Port of Gulfport and their new building. I worked on the construction there for nearly a year and I was 18 when I started on it. I started working there when it was just a huge concrete slab. I haven’t been there in a while because I got a new job so I haven’t seen what it looks like. But I hope you enjoyed your stay, I live about 35 minutes from Gulfport, and the Edgewater mall is definitely the best place to go

WOW! The City has done a Great job with rejuvenating the beaches after the Hurricanes . Looks clean! I just love the old Southern houses surrounded by old Oak trees with spanish moss & Palm trees. The Aerial shot was awesome! Had no idea the coast looked that way. These Ms coastal towns are under rated.

I'm so happy to see Gulfport again and that some of the old trees are still standing. We're used to live in New Orleans east in the early 80's and drove that road until Florida, a lot of times. Great job again 🙂

I spent many great youthful days on the MS coast. I haven't been back since Katrina, so I've often wondered how it looked now. Looks like they've done a much better job at recovering than my hometown of New Orleans has. I could easily live there if hurricanes weren't an ever present danger.

Glad to see someone putting a positive post about gulfport. It is a great place to live and work. It's a joy to call this city home.

Protip: If New Orleans isn't part of your itinerary, get on I-12 in Baton Rouge. It's a shortcut, plus you can avoid I-10 between the high rise and twin span (thus avoiding the worst drivers in the world).

This is my city I Love it always letting people know I’m from 228 Gulfport,MS and still after being gone for two years I’m in Ohio still putting on for all my Gulf coast family no matter what state I redo the whole gulf coast

We moved here about a 1 year and a half ago from south (very south) Louisiana and we love it here, so much to do and so well kept. Never plan on leaving.

I’m born a raised in Gulfport my family history is all over the coast and another thing to know about the gulf coast the beach is one largest man made beaches I believe and my great grandfather Cuevas help build some of the beach locations line and look up the Cuevas family history it’s pretty big

I also saw your video on Beloxi as well as this one, and both look like beautiful places, and at very "affordable" prices. I like the way you shoot your videos, and also cite the cost of housing, poverty and crime rates, to give one a true perspective. All places that have nice weather, and beautiful scenery, and close to the ocean, will not stay cheap for long. I'd bet in 20 years, these housing costs will triple in these small little cities. The only bad thing is hurricanes, and the damage they do to property, so I don't know how this will affect things. Maybe if they can hurricane proof houses, and buildings, and minimize damage, that would go a long way.

We've moved here 2 years ago We loved it here.. Besutiful..Peaceful & not crowded..

By now you are a truly consummate videographer! Music is also perfect! Thanks for a great channel!

I went through there in 1969 a few months after hurricane camille went through there. It was a Cat 5. The damage was unbelievable!! It wasn't so pretty then!!!

As someone who has lived in Ocean Springs my whole life I truly can not imagine living anywhere else it is a perfect place to live it has the feeling of a nice big city with lots to do, but does not have a crazy population and traffic is not near as bad as say Destin Ocean springs Biloxi Long Beach all beautiful places like I said its nice to live somewhere with loots to do with not so many people perfect place to settle down.

The two story houses on stilts you showed are mostly new builds that replaced houses destroyed by Katrina. Gulfport has done a fabulous job rebuilding, for a "poor" state, we have made fantastic progress and lots more in the works. We've been here 5 years and have seen lots of new businesses and attractions pop up. The city cleans the beach regularly and takes pride in the Gulf. I lived Gulfport for 3 years, but recently moved to Biloxi. We love it here. Both cities have a lot to offer. Thanks for showcasing our area.

Those beaches were absolutely STUNNING! You were so lucky with the weather. Those blues were really BLUE! You can tell many of those houses have been rebuilt/extensively refurbished after Katrina. I'm so dopey that when you said $5 for a beer I thought it was really expensive (But I guess Guinness really isn't just a beer, and I haven't had one in about 25 years anyway. 😄

Pretty city, love the older homes. Thanks again for your presentation! Really appreciated!

I love this town and have been going there for 40 year's

Watching now on a day off. Wishing I was going on a trip.

Some of the architect around those buildings is absolutely awesome I took plenty of pictures before I moved to California cuz I didn't want to forget some of the beautiful Architects that that's there in Gulfport and right off the coast and up to the railroad that runs through downtown Gulfport from the railroad to the beach is nice anything beyond that gets kind of trashy a lot of poor people live there but between the railroad and the interstate on 49 there's Walmart and there's all kind of grocery stores and fast food restaurants and hotels and places to eat and things to check out

Thank you for you kind comments on our town. We, like most other towns, have our downfalls, but still Gulfport is a nice place to live. The entire coast is worth moving to. 😊

I personally love ocean springs ...you need to go there ..it is such a quaint little town with the nicest people in the world ...it's like you totally transform when you go over the bridge and leave Gulfport and Biloxi into ocean springs

15:45 Pops place, the store across the street makes popsicles from juices found all the world. They also sell frozen broth for your dogs.

That area looks like a nice and quiet place to vacation. I missed that whole area when I drove cross country.

It’s cool seeing where I live from the eyes of someone who doesn’t live here. I’ve often wondered why people come here when you’ve got New Orleans and Mobile about an hour each way, but you make me want to visit my own city haha! I appreciate it more now, thanks for the perspective

Was there several years ago I loved it walked around and felt safe even at night ate at the KFC it was all u could eat

Next time you're in Biloxi go to the Underground restaurant! It's owned by Morgan Freeman! It's live music & the food is great! Nice all over the Gulf coast!!!

18.25 $5.00 for Guinness because the typical citizen can't afford otherwise. Also they compete with the casinos. You also saw "who DAT" a cheer for the new Orleans saints. They are insanely popular in these region. This town is almost an extension of new Orleans... almost

The gulf coast has the best beaches. My wife is from Pensacola. I'd never saw a beach until I went to the gulf coast. What a bargain place to live. Nice beaches and a low cost of living plus reasonable crime rate. One down fall is hurricanes. But that's to be expected anywhere on the southern coast. Another great video!

I LOVE visiting the Mississippi gulf coast! Beautiful areas there

Beautiful!!!! The drone really shows off the clarity of the water - gorgeous!!! Thank you!!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!

Back in the 90's I was stationed/Homeport in Gulfport. I had a beach view apartment for less than $600 a month. I have a lot of great memories there thanks to the U.S. Navy.

I lived here my entire life and I have never seen a view of the harbor quite like that thank you I'm 58 and I was born in Gulfport Memorial Hospital along with all my kids Katrina left us quite a mess we've come a long may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and all that you do

Great video, thanks for doing this. Gulfport has been on my radar for a few years, nice to get a look at things from the ground and an impartial assessment.

You passed right by my house lol. Love your coverage of our town and communities.
