What a great 4th of July on the beach in Mississippi. People were out having a ball in Hancock, Jackson and Harrison counties. The beaches in Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi and Ocean Springs were packed with families having fun.

Many families visit the coast of Mississippi to get away from the hyper commercialism found in other beach destinations. It is amazing how the neighborhoods along the coast still offer such an affordable opportunity for coastal living.
