After a fairly long drive of 227 miles our next stop was Davis Bayou, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Our senior lifetime pass is accepted here as well, so camping is really cheap. We stayed here before and it's a great location.
One of the reasons we like to stop here is to make sure we get in a visit to Bozos. This Mississippi eating establishment is located in Pascagoula, Mississippi and is home of the "shrimp overload Po'boy." Now that we're back in the deep South, it's time for us to get our fill of Po'boys and we will between here and Louisiana.
One of the nice things about Davis Bayou campground is that you can walk amongst nature. While they were working on the nature trail, there are still plenty of places to walk and enjoy at this location. The marshes of the Gulf Coast surround the campground and provide for some nice birding while simply sitting outside of the RV.
We also made a few day trips to play disc golf at a couple of the disc golf courses around here and enjoyed both of them, one in Biloxi, Mississippi and one in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Our favorite happy hour spot was at the Keg and Barrel which had a nice assortment of draft beers and many of them were local.
But a huge highlight of this area is actually the white sand beaches found in Biloxi and Gulfport, MS. While these aren't the equivalent of beaches in Florida, they are the only beaches we'll probably see this year. So, we did enjoy a day of just hanging out on the beach and enjoying the water and sand.
As our time runs out here in Ocean Springs, Mississippi the state of Louisiana is next up. Now we just have to figure out where to stay!
