Gulfport Florida

Welcome to Gulfport, Florida!

(This website is in the process of redevelopment.)

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. Located on the Boca Ciega Bay with a nice beach and long fishing pier, Gulfport’s Waterfront District attracts young and old alike.

Gulfport is famous for it’s variety of dining experiencs.

In fact, Gulfport was one of the six finalist in the 2010 Rand McNally “Best of the Road” out of 600 competing towns for “Best for Food“. Many of Gulfport’s first time visitors come to taste our delicious offerings and then come back with freinds to share the discovery.

Visitors may enjoy a delicious breakfast after a nice walk along Shore Blvd to take in the scenic view of Tierra Verde across the bay.

Then they might spend a few hours shopping for original paintings, unique gifts, or Florida souvenirs Maybe they will just take in the scenery or photograph the colorful buildings and homes that sit on tree covered streets in Gulfport. Lunch or Dinner would be enjoyed in any of the several popular restaurants on Gulfport, Beach and Shore Blvds.

Gulfport Florida has several 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 O’Maddy’s Bar and Grill on the gentle evening waves for a calming experience.

On the first Friday of every month at 6:00 pm, Beach Blvd comes alive with artists, vendors, musicians, and great food during our famous Gulfport Art Walks.

Every Tuesday is Gulfport’s Tuesday Fresh Market where fresh produce is sold and vendors set up offering fresh baked breads, fresh seafood, cheeses, nuts, spices and sauces, along with hand crafted art and clothing and more!

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!

Gallery from the Past

Below is a gallery with some of the images that were on the previous version of this website. The photos were taken from 2008 through 2011. Please note that many businesses, restaurants, signs, buildings, and people have come and gone over the years. Some of our friends and neighbors who appear in these images have passed away. Yet they still live in our hearts as do many of the businesses in this gallery. Although the town changes, our character stays the same, as it has since 1910 when Gulfport first became a city.

Enjoy!
