Shop, dine, relax and enjoy new friends in our eclectic waterfront Community.
Artisans and Crafters will be displaying their unique talents along Beach Blvd. and live entertainment can be heard throughout the waterfront district.
We have an interesting collection of people to meet, places to visit, and things to do in our undiscovered little community. With natural beauty enhanced by our colorful personality, you will find Gulfport FL to be a visionary experience that you will want to share with your family and friends.
Gulfport Florida has beautiful parks and a relaxing walk in the Clam Bayou Nature Preserve is always a visual and auditory treat with the sights and sounds of wild birds, the breeze in the trees, and the water of the bayou. One of my favorite things to do in Gulfport is walk out onto Williams' Pier at sunset to take pictures or just follow the sun as it goes down while watching the clouds put on a colorful show. After it gets dark, I let my eyes dance with the reflecting lights from Gulfport on the Rocks and O' Maddy's on the gentle evening waves for a calming experience.
On the first Friday and third Saturday of every month at 6:00 pm, Beach Blvd comes alive with artists, vendors, musicians, and great food during our famous Gulfport Art Walks.
Gulfport Florida is a great place to discover, and I promise you will be pleased with what you find. And I bet you will enjoy sharing the secret with your friends!
Dive Bar and Grill Comes to Town
Grand Opening Labor Day Weekend! September 4th, 5th, and 6th
Article by Big Dog:
Entrepreneurs Steve Donahue and Ernie Webb, (principals of the Florida Entertainment Group), are opening their latest venture, Dive Bar and Grill at 3128 Beach Boulevard in Downtown Gulfport.
In an interview with Steve and Ernie just four days before their scheduled opening in the middle of their 105 seat inside restaurant and bar, I was impressed both by the orderly chaos of last minute preparations and by the relative calm and confidence of the two principals. It was clear from our brief conversation that a lot of market research had been done before creating their business plan for the location.
“Dive” will be a full service restaurant in the low to moderate price range featuring a unique line of kabobs, sandwiches, alligator and conch specialties according to Ernie Webb. The menu was designed to attract all people of Gulfport based on their market studies. “Dive” will also produce a bar and club scene designed to meet the needs of our area gay community.

Testimonial by GulfportFlorida.us:
Theresa and I went to Michigan for Thanksgiving and were concerned about or lovely kitty and our always hungry fish. We decided to use the services of Gulfport's popular Lynda Shehan (Lynda with a "y"). From our first meeting with Lynda we knew our pets were in good hands. She has a connection with critters that is a joy to watch. We had absolutely no worries while we were gone and upon our return we were met by our kitty who, although happy to see us, was also looking for Lynda who was her newest friend. Our aquarium was bright and lively with perfectly fed guppies and all was well. Thank you Lynda!

From the first day I drove into Gulfport I knew I wanted to take a Kayak Nature Adventure tour. I'm ashamed to say that it took me two and half years to do it, but now I can say I have done it. And you can bet I will do it again...often.
It was magnificent! Absolutely beautiful! I had no idea what I was missing!
Well, it makes me mad! It makes me laugh! They say anyone can post comments? They sure seem to have nerve to say what they say. Guts at the very least. Is it all true? or just opinions? Both? Neither?
Check it out yourself and then if YOU have the nerve, speak your mind!
