Harrison County, Mississippi

Harrison Location Map Mississippi

The heart of Mississippi’s Gulf Coast beats in Harrison County. It’s sandwiched between Hancock and Jackson counties and stretches along the shoreline. Biloxi and Gulfport are the county’s largest cities.

You can’t talk about Harrison County without mentioning its famous white sand beaches. The casinos light up the nightlife, and history runs deep here. Seafood is king. Try the fresh shrimp or oysters at any local joint.

The county’s not just about the coast, though. Inland, you’ll find De Soto National Forest in the northeast. Sports fans flock to MGM Park to catch a Biloxi Shuckers game.
