re: Tired of people trashing Moss Point, Bay St. Louis, Pascagoula, etc.

The Misssissippi Gulf Coast beaches are a short drive from Louisiana, the water is warm, and waves are gentle for little kids. Hotels are nice. Food is good and reasonably priced.

Most Louisianians turn our noses up at the brownish sand in Mississippi. It's not Florida. But few places in the world have those beautiful white sand beaches.
