[@LuisEnriqueSernaEguezLESE]

Excellent video and very entertaining. I enjoyed it. I learned a lot and I took note for my next trip to Gulfport. Thank you very for sharing it!

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Absolutely. Thank you very much. Very glad to hear you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy your next trip to Gulfport!!!

I used to hang out on ship island back in the early 1980s when I lived in Biloxi, what a beautiful island. Thanks for the memories

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Absolutely. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@jamesboyd381]

Wow thank you so much for this video haven't been on ship Island since the 60s I'm 73 years old now never got to go back so thank you so much

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get to go back someday. Ship Island is great and I'd love to go back there myself.

[@beachdiva9586]

I love going to Ship Island. Already been once this summer and hope to go again.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Yeah it's a wonderful place. Very jealous that you get to go more than once in a summer. I live too far away to make return visits all that accessible, but I very much plan to one day.

[@FREEDOM-qb8db]

I live in Gulfport now I would love to visit Ship Island but after watching this, the walking distance to the beach may be more than I am capable of.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

I would estimate it is somewhere between a quarter and a half mile from the pier to the beach. Maybe they have wheelchairs available? Or perhaps you'd be able to bring one onto the ship?

[@Bishop228]

If you take the Ship Island Excursion ferry from Gulfport harbor you can bring a wheelchair, walker, cane or whatever you need to walk on the pier. Don’t let something like that keep you from visiting Ship Island.

[@shooterridge]

I went there years ago. I wanna say mid 2000’s & from everything I remembered, it looks the same. The fort, the beach, & even looks like it might be the same exact boat

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Well no reason to mess with what works right? Any plans to go back?

[@shooterridge]

@@rollercoastermotor1665 I’d definitely go back. I’ve been wanting to go back since then just never have. That place is cool & I think it flies under the radar compared to other places in the gulf coast

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

@@shooterridge Absolutely. I agree 100%. I'd love to go back here. The entire gulf coast region is beautiful. I really enjoyed how quiet and peaceful this place was.

The "lox" in Biloxi is pronounced "lux" as in luxury.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Ah gotcha. Thank you for the clarification.

[@s.daniel9224]

Our elementary school took us out to ship island. I guess 1980. Shit, I’m old.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

That sounds like way better than anything my elementary school ever did for me. I wonder if any schools still do it today.

[@arcadeclawpro2851]

Me, my Uncle Ron and my two cousins went there a long time ago (I was 10 years old at the time).

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Did you remember having a lot of fun there? Does the island seem like it has changed much?

[@arcadeclawpro2851]

@@rollercoastermotor1665 It will probably look different if I ever visit there again. It will definitely bring back so many memories.

[@9thGenerationCajun]

I see the no feeding birds signs,that used to be a highlight of the boat ride the seagulls would catch popcorn right over your head and even out of your hand 😂 if you're not from this area you really need to explore the Florida pan handle the water is much clearer,Even a clear river in the central area.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Absolutely. I would love to explore the pan handle someday. Anywhere in particular you recommend?

[@KennethT32505]

​@@rollercoastermotor1665Anywhere in Florida is nice. Water is crystal clear and sands are soft like sugar. You could visit Pensacola and Destin. Those two places are famous for tourists. You could visit Navarre Beach if you want a little less people. Orange Beach Alabama is also nice.

Pass Christian is pronounced pas kruhs-chee-an.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

Absolutely. Thank you for the correction.

[@joannclark9664]

Gross. By the way it is the Golf of Mexico.

[@rollercoastermotor1665]

What?

[@keithkelly2660]

Gulf is what she meant I believe. It isn't an ocean but the Gulf of Mexico. To be precise everything north of the barrier islands is the Mississippi Sound.

[@Bishop228]

What a butthead. Always someone leaving a rude comment just for the hell of it. There is nothing “gross” about anything in this video. If you’re referring to the water being a brown color, the barrier islands are the reason the Mississippi Sound north of the barrier islands has that color. If there were no islands our water would look just as good as Florida & Alabama water. Get a life.
