Are you thinking of moving to coastal Mississippi? We don’t blame you! Our little slice of heaven, The Secret Coast, offers something for everyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. Each month, the Elliott Homes team, including homebuilders, compiles a list of their favorite places and things to do in cities across the Coast. We are excited to share them with you.

Elliott Homes Team Members’ Favorite Things to Do on the Secret Coast

Cruisin’ the Coast® – A local tradition shared with car enthusiasts from more than 22 countries. This incredible event is known as America’s Largest Block Party, where people gather to watch as antique, classic, hot rods & custom vehicles are paraded up and down the Coast. Since it originated in 1996, Cruisin’ the Coast has grown from just under 375 cars to over 9,800 registered this year! Enjoy an entire week of rock ‘n’ roll, drag races, sock hops, swap meets, and headline entertainment all along the Coast. Events include stops in Bay St. Louis, Biloxi, D’Iberville, Gulfport, Pass Christian, Ocean Springs and Pascagoula.

Our coastal-inspired homes with covered porches in our Pointe Breeze at Grande View community are among the best spots to view the parade of cars. Enjoy this luxury beachfront lifestyle within walking distance to the beach for less than anywhere in the country.

So much to do, so little time – that’s what visitors generally say before moving to the Secret Coast!

Terror on the Coast – Not for the faint of heart, this 86,500 square foot state-of-the-art Hollywood film set Haunted House features horror movie-inspired vignettes using props from academy award-winning TV and movie productions. Are you brave enough to handle the thrills and chills as you feel you’re walking onto the movie set of a horror film?

SeaTrek® Helmet Diving Experience – For guests aged ten and up, this fantastic experience immerses you in the ocean’s natural habitat, where you can get close to various fish, sting rays, sharks and more.

Annual Salute to the Military – Join the Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce at the Annual Salute to the Military to pay tribute and thank our neighbors in uniform for their service to our nation and Coast Communities.

Adventure on the Coast – Tour the swamplands by boat tour or kayak to see alligators, birds, turtles and more. Test your driving skills on a high-performance go-kart or zip line through the trees.
