I really enjoyed this little lighthouse and tour. The lady who guided us was very knowledgable of the history of lighthouse and I do believe she had a very informative dialog that she tried to give to us but I think I may have had too many questions for her to allow her to do her job in peace and...

This is a neat lighthouse with notable history which sits in the middle of the highway and is not really accessible. Its a drive by event. If you want to know more, go to the visitor center.

Walking distance from shore and visitor's center. Easy climb up! Watch for dolphins playing in the bay with the pelican dive bombing for fish

We were able to take the tour up into the lighthouse at a very minimal price. The guide did not hurry us as we took our time looking out and taking pictures. It was very informational, too, about the history of the lighthouse.

If you're nervous about climbing lighthouses, this is a good one to start with. It's not very tall, and when you're at the top you are completely enclosed in the lens house, so you're not out on the railing. Plus, there is a really nice fellow who greets you in the lens room and talks to you about the lighthouse... More

This historic lighthouse is located in the median of the main highway along the coast, Beach Boulevard. You can climb the lighthouse by first going to the visitor center across the street.

We were there for 4 days and couldn't manage to get a tour. Not there when hours said. Only offered 3 tours daily at 9, 915, and 930 if someones there. Cool to look at from the beach. It appears to be a working lighthouse.

If you are already at the Visitors Center across the street definitely do the lighthouse tour! One of the Visitors Center attendants takes you over (it's cool how the lighthouse is now in the middle of the road) and gives a little talk about it and how it actually came to be in the middle of the road and then...

The Biloxi Lighthouse sits on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.Very interesting and worth viewing.The white sands of the Gulf makes the lighthouse look even more picture perfect it its days of glory when the ships were one of the sources of transporation.
