The Mississippi Gulf Coast seems to stretch on forever. The world's largest man-made beach (26 miles), a visitor traveling the scenic Hwy. 90 will be surprised at the distinct personalities of the mostly small towns located within the three counties. An area whose history was once defined mostly by hurricanes, today's historians marvel at the resurrection of a region some had declared economically dead. The savior blessed by many and cursed by some is gaming. The advent of casino gaming in the early 1990s revitalized the area's tourism economy sparking phenomenal growth. Today the area's 11 casinos draw visitors by the thousands daily. Once only a drive-in market from nearby cities, the area now is a regular tour-bus stop and numerous flights arrive daily at the expanding Gulfport/Biloxi Regional Airport. Tourism officials take advantage of the thousands of gamers to introduce the area's other attractions including a rich Civil War history showcased at Confederate president Jefferson Davis' home Beauvoir; the lovely antebellum homes that withstood land-falling hurricanes and the test of time, an ample deep sea fishing fleet, the area's growing number of world-class golf courses and the nearby John C. Stennis Space Center.
