Communities VisitSPC.com/Communities Gulfport WHAT SETS IT APART: Gulfport combines Main Street USA, a bohemian colony and a beach resort town in one. Residents support local businesses and it shows as you stroll by the colorful, vibrant cafes and shops on Beach Boulevard, embraced by oak canopies and residential enclaves of mid-century bunga-lows on brick roads. RECENT BUZZ: The all-new Stormrunners Tavern sports three open-air bars and bodacious views of Boca Ciega Bay. WHERE TO PLAY: Nature lovers and anyone wanting to decompress should hike or bike the trail at Clam Bayou Nature Preserve, also a great retreat for kayakers and paddleboarders. WHAT LOCALS KNOW: The First Friday Art Walk displays fine art and crafts. The Gulfport Tuesday Fresh Market is where you go for local produce. On Labor Day weekend, GeckoFest, an annual Mardi Gras-meets-family fun festival, takes over the town. 48 AMERICA’S BEST BEACHES
