Calling all space explorers! Space exploration is one of the most epic adventured set out by humankind. Get inspired by the wonders of space and space exploration by visiting the Infinity Space Center.

Our military heritage is a part of who we are. We encourage you to wander out historic military forts and walk where our armed forces once walked. Check out some of our historic military locations below to help plan your next visit to South Mississippi. 

Feel the ocean breeze in your hair as you explore Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. The ocean is apart of our history and heritage; it was one of the reasons the Native Americans settled here. The ocean has helped build and shape what Southern Mississippi is today. So breathe in the ocean air and dig your toes into the shoreline. The sea is apart of who we are. 

When you live next to the water, it’s easy to feel inspired. Art is everywhere along our coastal communities. The Mississippi Gulf Coast has lots of ways for you to influence your inner artist. If you were trying to find some artistic stimulation, you’ve come to the right place.
