Getting Around

The Coast Transit Authority provides limited public transport in the Mississippi Gulf region, including Gulfport, D'Iberville, and Biloxi. However, most visitors find that hiring a car is the best way to get around. The various attractions and towns in the area are fairly spread out, and driving is the quickest way to get from one destination to the other. Taxis are available, but must usually be booked in advance by phone and are relatively pricey.
