Mississippi Coastline


We now can say we are familiar with the coastline of Mississippi from Waveland to Biloxi!  We took a roadtrip down I-90 (Beach Blvd), stopping at Waveland, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Bay St. Louis, Gulfport, and Biloxi.  Had a great time, although hit with flashes of rain here and there.
Most of the homes on this stretch seemed to have been recently rebuilt due to Katrina devastation.



We learned that these beaches are man-made.  In the 1920s a 12' sea wall was constructed to protect the frontage road; it spans 25 miles.  Sand is periodically replaced.

The water was comfortable temperature and the boys took a dip!  Dogs are not allowed on this beach so Lucy and I watched from the sidewalk.

We took a tour of Jefferson Davis's last home; beautiful property fronting the beach!

Next beach trip- further east of Biloxi all the way to Pensacola, FL!  We  hear the water is Carribean blue!
