Biloxi

Give Biloxi 2 nights: one for the beach and Beauvoir, one for a casino or Ship Island. Skip it as a base if you want walkable streets — you need a car.

  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Biloxi is a small Gulf Coast city of about 45,000 people strung along US-90, with a 40 km seawall, nine casinos and a seafood history. Sights sit 3–8 km apart, so a car or the casino hopper bus decides your day. Most travellers use it as a 2-night stop between New Orleans and Mobile.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

A car is the practical choice: I-10 runs north of town, US-90 along the beach, I-110 links them. Coast Transit Authority buses cover Biloxi, Gulfport, Long Beach and D'Iberville but run infrequently. The CTA Casino Hopper loops the casinos; casino shuttles are often free for guests.

Eat & sleep

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Beach Blvd (US-90) strip

Casino resorts and beachfront motels between the lighthouse and Beauvoir; walkable to the sand, not to downtown.

Downtown / Vieux Marche

Restaurants, bars and the Ohr-O'Keefe museum; quieter at night, 2–3 km from the big casinos.

Biloxi Bay / Back Bay

Cheaper rooms near I-110 and the marinas; you will drive everywhere.

Watch out

Safety

Biloxi is a normal small US city: the beach strip is calm, but lock your car and stay in lit areas downtown at night. The bigger risks are summer heat, rip currents and hurricane season.
  • Hurricane season runs Jun–Nov; check forecasts and know your evacuation route before you book late summer.
  • Casino floors allow smoking in many properties; non-smoking rooms are not guaranteed unless you ask.
  • The beach is shallow and calm but not patrolled everywhere — swim near other people.
  • Summer heat and humidity are severe; plan indoor stops midday.
