Ship Island Excursion and Pan Isles Inc in Gulfport, Mississippi is a tourist destination like no other. Just off the coast of Mississippi are the barrier islands which are undeveloped. They feature some of the most amazing beaches that are clean, unspoiled and not developed in virtually any way. Guests that enjoy the sun and sand will want to travel the 11 miles to the islands where they can enjoy clean beaches and plenty of ocean air. Ship Island Excursions and Pan Isles Inc will help to get you there through their boating service.
Both locals and tourists can enjoy the range of activities located on the beaches including a visit to historic Fort Massachusetts. View the bottle nosed dolphins that are spotted in the area. They often swim right alongside the boats.
The ferry service was first established in 1926 by Peter M Skrmetta, whose family still owns and operates the service. Once guests arrive at the islands, a third of a mile walk across a boardwalk will take you to the gulf sided area of the islands, which offers the most beach and beauty. Bring a picnic and enjoy it on the beach. The beach does not offer any fresh water and the only bathrooms are those that are available on the boat.
Guests should plan to travel very lightly. There are no trash cans on the island so garbage needs to be taken back with you. Only small coolers can be brought and virtually no baggage. It can be very humid during the months of June through August.
