Discover the Best-Kept 🕵️‍♀️ Secrets of Mississippi Gulf Coast 🤫

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Clarification - the Mississippi Coastal Casinos do not have to be floating on water anymore. After Katrina, Mississippi lawmakers changed the law so that they can be on land but have to be within a specified number of feet from the water. Thanks for Watching!

[@angiegracie6954]

After 64 years of living in Massachusetts, a friend told me to check out coastal MS and it felt like home so I moved to Ocean Springs. ❤

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

The Mississippi Coast is really special. Thanks for watching!

[@trustyaxe]

I've lived in Biloxi, Vancleave and Ocean Springs. Of the three, I would take Ocean Springs because it is so quaint and has such a welcoming feel. I've considered moving back many times.

[@pamelabaker1806]

Not only did Katrina wipe out the Mississippi gulf coast but so did Camile in 1969. When Katrina hit everyone was focused on New Orleans and the devastation there but the coast was, dare I say, was ignored. A news weather broadcast actually called us a mass between Alabama and Louisiana. But the Mississippi Gulf Coast is resilient, and we build back better each time we encounter a storms such as these.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Yes, you definitely built back, even better than before. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. People need to know Katrina was more than NOLA.

[@juanitayambert9135]

Been there 4 times. From Ohio. Love it

[@nette49]

I am in southeast Louisiana, but we go to the coast often. I will be there in 2 weeks on our way back from Alabama. We plan on stopping to shop and eat in Ocean Springs. In Sept, my niece VRBO'd a house for 8 cousins and 2 aunts in Long Beach. I often go to Island View and Beach View with friends. I love the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Thank you for this really good video

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thank you for the kind words! I am doing lots of videos based on places in Louisiana also. Do you have any favorite places in Louisiana that I should do a video on? I am working on some videos now of Lafayette and New Iberia. I just published Exploring Secrets of Tabasco. 😀

[@SunGraphicSigns]

Don't forget Pascagoula! No highway noise on that beach (now named Jimmy Buffett Beach). Pascagoula has a fun little old downtown area (start on Delmas Ave) with WONDERFUL food & cool pubs... not far from that is Brady's Steaks and Seafood on the river. This has turned into such a quiet city full of interesting people ready to chat. Peaceful walks on the beach and fishing

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thank you so much for watching. I did not make it to Pascagoula on my trip, but I will be sure to use your recommendations on my next trip to that area.

[@nette49]

Pascagoula is not actually on the coast, not on Beach Blvd/90 so she didn't get there. It seems this was only 90 on the coast. But yes, Pascagoula is a quaint town. I have stayed there many years ago.

[@mforganics4985]

We are on the coast! Our beach is right there just like Mobile is coastal. That's like saying because someone lives in Waveland/Hancocok county they aren't the coast because they aren't directly on the beach itself. ​@@nette49

[@chasitymoore7295]

Thank you so much You have the best video filled with lots good information. I've never been to any of the beaches in Mississippi but will be going soon

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@thekoalamama]

Super interesting. No idea the beaches are man-made. No idea the casinos have to be on water and no idea the damage from Katrina... news seemed to focus on New Orleans. My dad did basic training in Biloxi in the 1950's so peaked my interest. #VRAFam

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

I was also unaware of the beaches being man made. I do need to clarify, after Katrina, the casinos do not have to be on water anymore, but they do have to be within a certain number of feet. Thank you for watching! #VRAFam

[@thekoalamama]

@@WhichPathTravelogue still really interesting!

[@billdance2801]

The entire MS gulf coast got smacked by Katrina. Yes the coverage only went to Nola due to flooding and the levee breaking but ms got hit head on it looked like a bomb went off. Entire casinos were moved from their original locations. The president casino was moved like a mile and grand Gulfport and grand biloxi moved across the street. 20-28ft storm surges

[@lindaavery8586]

I grew up in Mississippi all my lige until age 22. Went to the old Gulfpory High. Ladt graduation clas of 77. The Mississippi Aquariam is where the First Baptist Church once stood for many years.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching!

[@BarrierIsland]

Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis are two areas my friends and I have been interested in. We live in densely crowded coastal Florida and are natives looking to step back in time. Thank you...

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

It a wonderful area. Thank you for watching!

[@trustyaxe]

That whole area, Waveland included, is beautiful. I've also considered moving there one day. Has a unique feel from the rest of the state...like you're not in Mississippi, lol.

[@BarrierIsland]

@@trustyaxe I will check it out. We're ready to leave Florida...

[@DonCatherman]

I moved to Mississippi over 11 years ago..spent many days in long Beach. Pass christian...on the beach...ride my harley down to the coast. Spend the night on the beach..sunrise..head home...

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Great memories for you! Sounds like you need another sunrise on the beach.

[@boogitybear2283]

I’ve spent tons of Money Frequenting the Mississippi Coast. I love Gambling and Eating so I figured this is the place for me. I’m proud to help their Economy especially after Katrina.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching and supporting the economy

[@21737geb]

Some other best secrets are: The Gulf water is not good for swimming that's why you don't see many swimmers, and since Katrina the casino's have raised their house edge on most games - like slots and video poker.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Yes, you are correct, beachs are great, water not so much. It is way too close to Mississippi River. Thanks for watching!

[@kathyshearer8661]

I always wondered why I never see anyone at the beach, I have never been there but I watch a lot of you tube videos and shows on TV. Is it polluted?

[@nette49]

Because of the small islands, you get no surf or wave motion. No sound of ocean. That is the only negative. I love ocean sounds so we go to Gulf Shores in Alabama. But I love the MS coastal towns for everything else!

[@georgelorman]

Thank you, one of the best MS Gulf Coast videos I have seen. Having personally experienced the aftermath of Hurricane Camille, the renaissance of the area is spectacular. Looking forward to visiting soon.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Wow, thank you! I am heading back soon, so expect more videos on that area.

[@DivineSublime22]

It's cute to hear how you pronounce Pass Christian. 😊 It doesn't sound like the word Christian. ....the "ian" is "ee-ann."

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching!

[@MM-et3xb]

I love Bay st Louis. It’s such a cute town.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

🙋‍♀️Born in “the Bay,” and so proud !

[@JosephScanlon]

Excellent video (except for the intercut shots of Vegas). Just the right length for an overview, well-produced, and a good job of covering the entire strip. Although I have lived in California for many years now, I grew up in Jackson, MS, and my family spent many vacations on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

[@dianapearson1771]

Loved this!

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

thanks for watching!

[@MM-et3xb]

It’s so nice ..

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thank you for your comment and for watching.

[@monicabeal8733]

I really love the water . I would like to have a vacation house plantation on the Ms coast when I get married for real and not be disturbed by the wrong people.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

That sounds amazing, a vacation house by the water is the wonderful goal. Hope you get to make that dream a reality soon! Thanks for watching!

[@user-wp1pc8ld1m]

I was in Biloxi from 1965to 1967 I can’t remember the name of the hurricane in 1965.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching! I looked it up - Hurricane Betsy hit in 1965.

[@nette49]

Yes, Betsy. She came right over Bayou Lafourche through Grand Isle. I live there. We got the eye and a lot of devastation and death. I had just turned 16

[@hasiemtrieseverything6953]

I can tell you aren’t from the Mississippi coast, Pass Christian is pronounced Pass Chris tee ann

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching. No, I am not from the Mississippi coast. I am just someone who loves to travel and learn about interesting places. Thank you for the correction! 😀

[@JosephScanlon]

With the accent on the last syllable.

[@LadyLuvsNatr]

😂 it drove me nuts as well!

[@woodyhayes7402]

Bless your heart…just because you mispronounce a word doesn’t make it right.

[@francisdashwood1760]

1:29 For those wondering, that's NOT Biloxi...lol!

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

You are correct, that is the real Las Vegas. Thanks for watching.

[@user-lt9ys9hk1i]

My dad helped build those casino boats

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Oh WOW! That is so interesting! Thank you for sharing that with me.

[@TAYLORFAN50]

Casinos and political greed ruined what was once a staple of southern charm. 😢

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching! There is still lots of southern charm. Everyone that I met was so welcoming and friendly.

[@francisdashwood1760]

Biloxi used to be corrupt pre-casinos, especially in the 70s. There were literally ''cat houses'' in the numerous strip joints. You could negotiate with a stripper and spend some quality time in the back rooms...lol! Same with massage parlors. Biloxi was also known back in the day for the Dixie Mafia, as well as corrupt sheriffs, cops, and mayors. Whatever you think Biloxi is today, it's nothing compared to the way it was before the casinos!

[@rosalindhampton24]

Have You been to McElroy's and Mary Mahoney's. If so, please give review. Thank you

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for the request. The next time that I am in the Biloxi area, I will definitely review them. Mary Mahoney's was one of my mom's favorites.

[@user-rz8bu6vl8x]

McElroy's used to be the place to go! Delicious food. But I don't know if it's still in business, haven't been to the coast in years.

[@darrylbreland8235]

The Pass is pronounced “Pass Chris Chan”

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thank you!

[@woodyhayes7402]

Well, then you mispronounce the word.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

@@woodyhayes7402if you are local, that is the correct way to pronounce it

[@Beach_Master]

The beaches are GROSS. They may have artificially piled sand at the water’s edge to create a “beach,” but walk a couple dozen yards out into the water and you are walking in slimy MUD. The water is the color of chocolate milk year round.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Some people enjoy the beach and do not go in the water. Thanks for watching!

[@aquaocean9419]

The water on the MS gulf coast goes back and forth between the Coast and the barrier islands, such as Ship Island. That is why it is not clear. If you go to Ship Island the water is clear.

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

That is what I have heard also.

[@alyneorleans5018]

That “wonderful little downtown area” of Ocean Springs is being destroyed by floods of people watching videos like this and moving there. 😠

[@WhichPathTravelogue]

Thanks for watching!
