COMMUNITIES VisitSPC.com/Communities GULFPORT A true sense of community: Locally supported, locally owned businesses line Gulfport’s main drag, Beach Boulevard, adjacent to oak-shaded residential streets with charmingly colorful bungalows. Festive gatherings: The townsfolk commune for the First Friday Art Walk, which draws locals and visitors alike in search of one-of-a-kind decor and accessories. The Gulfport Tuesday Fresh Market hawks local produce and handmade goods. GeckoFest is an annual Mardi Gras-meets-family-fun festival. A breath of fresh air: Gulfport not only brims in lush, colorful subtropical flora and waterfront views, but you can take it all in a pedestrian-friendly setting. Browse shops, and dine or drink outdoors to bask in the city's charm. Options galore: Gulfport Beach Bazaar features 20-plus vendors, coastal and vintage furniture, home décor and collectibles. For something to wear, check out Botiki, and top it off with lunch at Pia’s Trattoria, cocktails or brews at Sea Dog Cantina and a frozen treat at Let it Be Ice Cream. 48 AMERICA’S BEST BEACHES
