One of the first cast-iron lighthouses built in the South, the Biloxi Lighthouse is one of the city's most revered landmarks. Erected in 1848, it was operated by local Biloxians – including a handful of female lightkeepers – until 1939 when the U.S. Coast Guard adopted the post. Today, the lighthouse has survived the shoreline's devastation by many a hurricane (Hurricane Katrina's storm surge waters covered a third of the 64-foot-tall lighthouse) and stands as a symbol of the city's resolve. Recent visitors loved this historic lighthouse, noting its beauty and praising the views of the Gulf Coast from above. And while some said the structure itself is on the small side, travelers said taking the tour is worth it as the guides offer more information on the lighthouse's purpose, history and resilience through the years. However, many visitors find the lighthouse's location, on the median of a highway, rather unusual. If you want to tour the lighthouse, you'll have to get there early; the city operates only a single hourlong tour starting at 9 a.m. daily. Admission starts at $5 for adults and $2 for children 6 to 11; there's no entry fee for children 5 and younger. No reservations are required, except for group tours. Check out the city of Biloxi's website for more details.
