Ship Island Holding

We rode the ferry to Ship Island oon 2 theride as well as the beach time you can rent chairs and an umbrella for $ 25, worth it for protection from the sun. We enjoyed a short walk on the beach. You may pack a lunch or buy items there. Take a cooler on wheels since you’ll be lugging it aways to the beach. You can take beer and other beverages but not in glass bottles.

Taking a trip out to Ship Island is a must for anyone visiting the Coast. The beach on the South side of the island has clearer water and is usually less crowded than the mainland one, if you weren’t quite blown away by it. The trip out is short and usually pleasant. The historical attraction on the island itself is, of course, the old fort. Hurricane Katrina definitely damaged the island, but it’s still more than worth visiting.

Fortunate for the amazing weather while I was in Biloxi, I decided to take advantage of the sun in order to make my way to Ship Island, a great getaway about 12 miles south of Biloxi and Gulfport.
According to a resident, locals often frequent Ship Island to sail around on their personal boats, though the Ship Island Excursion boat takes tourists for a 30 minute cruise, at several convenient times throughout the day.
The Fort on Ship Island survived Hurricane Katrina, though there was some damage to the amenities on the Island (such as the snack bars and bathrooms).
Ship Island is a great destination for fishing and relaxing, and the emerald clear waters are teeming with sealife, and I even saw blue crabs, starfish, pelicans, and… dolphins! Make sure to stay until the sunset, which is spectacular as it illuminates the sky…
