Gulfport Beach
One of the main swimming options in the Mississippi Gulf
Coast area is Gulfport Beach. The beach features white sand, clear waters, and
great views of the ocean. The waves are fairly gentle, which makes the water
ideal for families with young children.
Along with the swimming options, the beach features a large
boardwalk ideal for walking. Families can spend a whole day by the water or
expand their options with Jet Ski rentals. Each time you visit Gulfport Beach,
you can enjoy a different activity.
The area includes rinse stations and changing rooms. After
everyone is done swimming, you can change in dry clothes to visit the shops or
restaurants located in the nearby area.
Ship Island Swim Area
A popular excursion in the Mississippi Coast area is Ship
Island. Only accessible by ship, the island features a lot of nature and has
its own swimming area. The area is not as crowded, features no large buildings,
and is a peaceful way to enjoy the waters.
Instead of lugging all your beach gear over to Ship Island,
the swimming location offers umbrella and chair rentals. During the summer
months, lifeguards work on the beach, adding some peace of mind for families
with young swimmers.
Along with the swimming, you will find many picnic tables,
changing rooms, and places to eat like a snack bar. You can also bring your own
cooler with snacks and other options.
Gulf Islands Waterpark
If you want more excitement as you enjoy the water, consider
a day-long visit to the Gulf Islands Waterpark. The waterpark is ideal for
families and has a lot of different activities. Some of the more popular
attractions include large water slides. Some of the water slides include large
raft-styled tubes so the family can ride together.
Younger children can enjoy a mist spray pad, a water-based
obstacle course, and themed water areas like a pirate ship. The park also
features a large lazy river where guests can lay down on a tube and enjoy the
water.
When you purchase tickets, you can buy a single-day pass for
a specific day you want to attend or a flex pass to purchase and use anytime
you want to go.
Hard Rock Hotel Pool Pass
You do not need to stay at a resort hotel to enjoy their
pool options. When you stay at a bed and breakfast, you can enjoy the cozy
setting and home-cooked foods. When you visit a resort-like the Hard Rock Hotel
in Mississippi, consider a pool pass for the family. With a pool pass, you gain
access to the pool area for the whole day.
The Hard Rock Hotel pool includes a huge swimming area.
Adults can go to the swim-up bar. You also have the option to rent a cabana and
have a private place for the family to sit and relax during the whole day. The
cabana also provides a lot of shade if you want to escape the sun and get out
of the direct heat.
A pool pass lasts the whole day so you can leave and return
later if you wanted.
