There are plenty of things to do and sites to see in Biloxi. A historical town, Biloxi boasts a cast-iron lighthouse that dates back to 1849 and was operational until 1939. Take the 57-step staircase to the keepers' chambers, where you can learn more about the lighthouse's historical significance. On a fine morning, visit Ship Island, located a few miles off Biloxi's shores. The peaceful and untouched island has beautiful beaches, perfect for relaxation. For adventure, you can dive into the water, go snorkeling, or boogie boarding. Design and art enthusiasts should visit the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art. The building is an architectural wonder and houses Ohr-O'Keefe's works and exhibits that promote the African American Heritage after the American Civil War.
