The Beach

Biloxi is bordered to the south by a beautiful white sand beach. Harrison County is proud to be home to the world’s largest man-made beach with 26 miles of glistening white sand, majestic sand dunes and a pedestrian pathway.

Adjoining our pristine white sandy beach is a beautiful scenic drive, Beach Boulevard. A drive along the boulevard provides a view of the beach, the Mississippi Sound, historic antebellum homes, and ageless oak trees. You can enjoy the drive along Beach Boulevard and visit our neighboring cities of Gulfport, Long Beach, and Pass Christian.
