Just an hour’s drive from New Orleans, one will find Mississippi’s very own treasure – the beautiful Gulf Coast. While resorts, luxury hotels, and quaint bed and breakfasts dot the shoreline, one need only decide where to begin. Adventurous excursions, live entertainment, and historic sites are only a few of possibilities that will peak visitors’ interests.
For the Jacque Cousteau in everyone, chartering a boat for a deep sea fishing expedition to catch dinner or taking an excursion to Ship Island is always invigorating. Also, there is the opportunity to swim with the dolphins at the local oceanarium. Or, if the golf swing could use some improvement, championship courses offer the perfect cure-all. And, while these activities are adventuresome and welcome a much needed change of pace, they do not diminish the value of the tried and true events of the Gulf Coast.
For example, Mississippi proudly lays claim to the renowned Walter Anderson museum and many historic sites such as Jefferson Davis’s home, Beauvoir. In addition, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the spring pilgrimage or attend a gulf-side homes tour.
Furthermore, connoisseurs of the performing arts have the best of live entertainment such as plays at the Saenger Theater, concerts of all kind, and parades at the annual Mardi Gras celebration.
And, for those that appreciate the simple pleasures in life, there is dinner on a sunset cruise, the ever relaxing stroll along the beach, sand between one’s toes, and, of course, the beautiful view. Perhaps Jefferson Davis best described his vision of the Gulf Coast in all its splendor, Beauvoir.
So many historical homes and scenic venues are available for your wedding on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. For more information, visit www.premierbridems.com and www.gulfcoast.org
