CITY OF GULFPORT FLORIDA
Scroll Down Page
Gulfport is known as the “Gateway to the Gulf,” due to its location just southwest of St. Petersburg, which is generally considered the departure for the Gulf of Mexico. Gulfport faces Boca Ciega Bay, which leads into the Gulf. The town dates back to 1867, and today the tree-lined streets around Beach Boulevard still have some of the beautiful old buildings and charm of the era. The only tall buildings in the town are some condos located along the shore, but this doesn’t spoil the tranquil old south feeling of the town. There are some very good restaurants in Gulfport, and a new pier that has spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset, as well as dolphins that often play in the Boca Ciega Bay. There is a famous pink hotel located at the entrance of Pass-A-Grille-Beach where many Hollywood movies have been filmed. Also, if you like fishing, you’ll love Gulfport where catfish and other species are plentiful is the area’s waters. Attractions in Gulfport include the Gulfport Casino, a famous landmark that is now a dance hall. The Gulfport Historical Society Museum is open Monday through Friday, and the first Friday of every month an artist’s gallery walk is held from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. At this time, all of the craft and art stores located on Beach Boulevard are open to the public, and you can browse, shop and help yourself to refreshments, which often includes wine and cheese. Gulfport is a charming small town reminiscent of “old Florida.”
