    Best casual seafood near Gulfport?

    Bozos in goula was just named one of the 20 best seafood dives in America. BBs in Ocean Springs is great. Taranto in Woolmarket is great. Disappointed in McElroys last time. Will not go back to Shaggys or Whitecap.

    OT: Quick thoughts on Jekyll Island?

    You might want to check out the next island, St. Simons. More laid back - more family friendly - less expensive - very historic. The historic King and Prince hotel is owned by Mike Sturdivant and family. Great place to vacation.
