Constructed in 1848, the Biloxi Lighthouse has provided navigational assistance to watercraft of all sizes as they sail along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The lighthouse has survived both the Civil War and numerous hurricanes, and remains operational today. Visitors can climb the lighthouse’s 57-step spiral staircase and an eight-rung ladder to the top, where they can take in the scenic view of the Gulf of Mexico.
