It’s my understanding that the neighborhood where the casinos on the back bay are located is not a place to be at night. With that said, there are some homeless that hang out in the park where the hurricane monument is and near the McDonalds.
We bring our antique cars for the car show and the only thing we have had happen is someone hit or door with their car door and left damage and drove away. We have been going to Mississippi’s gulf coast for about 8 years now and have never had a problem.
I just Google Biloxi, the New Orleans and both stated very high crime rates, then I googled where I live in Florida which is a fairly small town and it said the same thing, that we were one of the highest crime rates in the country.
