The Gulf Islands National Seashore is endowed with a plethora of treasures, including blue-green, dazzling waves, stunning white beaches, and fertile coastal wetlands. It spans eastward 160 miles from Cat Island, Mississippi, to the Okaloosa Area east of Fort Walton Beach, Florida. There are several options for quiet and relaxation, as well as miles of clear vistas and access to the Gulf. A short stroll, bike ride, or kayak expedition always guarantees a stretch of beach free of humans.
