Day Trips
Explore Gulfport: Beach, Bazaar, & More!
The City of
The beach, overlooking Boca Ciega Bay, features white sand and calm waters. Picnicking, volleyball, kid’s areas, bocce ball and more are favorite pastimes here.
From Gulfport’s website: “Our Clam Bayou Nature Park is a living/breathing estuary full of bird, marine and plant life, and is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Visit Clam Bayou by canoe or kayak, or stroll along walking paths and overlooks. The simple fun of a stroll through Gulfport’s brick-paved streets is one of the best ways to enjoy the local color of cottages, gardens and people. Our historic Casino, on the waterfront, offers events and dancing most every night of the week, and is available for your event. Catherine Hickman Theater hosts popular local and touring productions of plays, musical performances and more.”
We have driven to Gulfport Beach time after time, always passing the small shops on the street. One stood out more than the others, Gulfport Beach Bazaar. From the outside it looked like a place to find all things beachy. A few weeks ago my daughter and I finally stopped in. So glad we did! While they had display after display of beach themed items they also had a good selection of shabby chic and vintage. The Beach Bazaar has over 30 vendors with everything from re-purposed furniture, collectibles, and vintage goodies.
“A fun little BAZAAR in a BIZARRE little town!”
