Gulf Islands National Seashore, MS
Between the Alabama/Mississippi state line and Biloxi, I didn't find many reasons to stop the car. I avoided the interstate and stayed on US 90 the entire time, but there wasn't much to see. Any views of open water were mostly hidden from the road as I passed through Pascagoula (which probably has a more scenic area, but US 90 wasn't terribly thrilling). I did, however, detour at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, to check out Gulf Islands National Seashore.
The road through the park appears to be traveling through a dense forest, but the truth is, there are subdivisions just out of sight of the road. The park road heads south for about a mile, then eventually reaches the main attraction: a view of the Gulf.
Gulf Islands National Seashore would be great if you needed a picnic spot, or were planning an afternoon of fishing. But for me, it didn't offer much. There's a pier here...
... and some views of the marshland at the edge of the water, but that's about it.
From the pier, you can see the casinos of Biloxi in the distance. Okay, you can't really see them in this picture, because they're still a few miles away. But trust me, they're there.

Continue west on US 90 across Biloxi Bay, into Biloxi. |
