This is the Gulf Coast Research Laboratoty in Ocean Sprongs Mississippi. Just doing our daily beach visit just driving around. You can swim for free here and the sand is really white and clean.
My hubby and I have our schedule to drive by the beach area every afternoon. Sometimes, we feed the birds and enjoy the fresh air. The picture above is a signage of the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Mississippi and this is part of their property.
The left side area are vacant lots. All the houses there are blown away and swept towards the sea by hurricane Katrina.
This house is newly constructed. If you click the picture, you will see the red old fence of the house and nearby the tree is their old stairway, the only part of the house that was left after the hurricane.
This is the right side view. White sand and long beach extending from the Front Beach area to East Beach.
Just taking the picture of the left side view of the beach. Yep! It is not really an open space. All these properties had big houses but all gone because of hurricane Katrina. The house that you see in this picture is a newly constructed.
The water surge in this area during the hurricane is 35+ feet high.
Click the picture and you will see only the gate of the property. All else are gone.

That is the bridge connecting to Ocean Springs and Biloxi Mississippi. That bridge is also US highway 90 and it would take you towards New Orleans heading to the East.
The building shown above is The Isle Hotel and Casino and The Palace Hotel.
This is located in harbor landing, Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

Just taking time to have a remembrance, my hair is in pocahontas style...sort of.
The view at the marsh area.
See the birds flying? There are so many birds here in different kinds. Most of them are Pelicans.

The boats at the side of the building. They are private boats.
They are ready to use by the owner. You can store the your boat here for $7 a foot for a year. If you need to use them any day, you will just call them and the boat is ready for you. When you are done, they will clean it and store it for you. No hassle.
The inside of the storage are all private boats and yachts.

Nice view huh?
Overlooking the road. See the right vacant space? There were no houses because it was all damaged by the last big hurricane Katrina. This building is new. The old one was swallowed by the sea.
This is how it looks at the third floor. The second floor deck is so gorgeous. Overlooking the gulf coast.
Gosh, it is so warm this day.
This is our cousin, he actually invite us to follow them at Branson, Missouri on Monday. We are not ready to go for another travel so, I guess our turn to go will be scheduled sometime.
I was at the top floor.
Signage that says this building has elevators....hmmm.
Just taking the pictures of the boat display inside the building.
They are my models...LOL.
