Jackson County, Mississippi

Jackson Location Map Mississippi

Jackson County is down on the Gulf Coast, bordering Alabama. It’s where the Pascagoula River meets the sea. Moss Point, Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, and Gautier make up its main cities.

The county has a bit of everything. It has beaches, bayous, and industry. Seafood is kind of a big deal here. You can’t beat the fresh shrimp and oysters. Pascagoula is known for its shipyards.

The Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs showcases the work of the famous Gulf Coast artist. Hurricanes have battered the area, but folks have rebuilt, time and time again.
