The water lines from all the hurricanes are marked inside the lighthouse and the view from the top is beautiful. Tours are only in the morning because the lighthouse is cast metal.

This is an interesting piece of history for our coast and it has been maintained well enough to have survived the major hurricanes.

We pass the Lighthouse almost every week. It is more beautiful than ever since it has been restrored since Katrina. I love to watch a sunset on the beach with the LIghthouse in view.

You really can only view the lighthouse during a 9 am, 9:15, or 9:25 am tour. Arrive early and call ahead.

Highway was too busy to do more than take a passing glance at this lighthouse. However, the pier across the street was a great place to view the sunset!

A beautiful lighthouse in the median of route 90 in Biloxi, MS. The tours are in the am and we were only here for 1 night so couldn't climb up the lighthouse, but enjoyed taking photos of it and also got the Lighthouse Stamp from the visitor's center and from the Biloxi Pier.

This is a small lighthouse with volunteers providing tours early in the day. It heats up inside later on. The history is nice, and now with the Biloxi Visitor's Center nearby, there is a little more substance to round out a visit. For lighthouse aficionado, this will not be a stellar site, as it is planted right betwen the east... More

One of the oldest standing lighthouses, it is just a beautiful sight. I am not sure of it's accessibility since Katrina, but it is our history and worth a stop.
