FOCUS ON Gulfport, Florida
Gulfport is a beautiful, quaint, waterfront “village” with good-ole southern Florida hospitality, charm and civic pride.
So many things to see and do in this seaside village that honors its past while enjoying the present. Truly a very unique historic village along Florida’s west coast.
Hosting all who arrive by sea is the comfortable, clean, protected and welcoming Gulfport Municipal Marina.
The marina is located on roughly eleven acres with over seven acres of marina waters protected by a concrete seawall and with 192 wet slips and 25 dry boat storage spaces. There is a boat ramp if needed and 70 trailer parking spaces available. A Florida CLEAN MARINA with a well-stocked ship’s store, two fueling stations, guest docking facility, showers and restrooms. If the marina is full, there is the Gulfport Mooring Field, also conveniently located near the heart of town. The well-engineered moorings offer a variety of amenities for the transient boater wishing to hangout in the bay. You are invited to stay a day, week or month. Many have even made Gulfport their new Homeport!
All this is located close to the town’s diversity of amenities and an enjoyable walk among the historic southern Florida homes, many with historic legacies. You can’t miss this town’s sense of community pride. You will find its unique civic engagements throughout the town, bringing daily non-partisan opportunities for the town folks to share a beverage and get involved.
The town has many very talented artists whose works you will see not only in shops, but throughout the community. On your walks around town, you may find a local artist at work in their favorite studio – their front yard, as this gentleman is illustrating.
On the first Friday and third Saturday of every month, there is the Gulfport Art Walk, an enjoyable walk on Beach Blvd and chance to witness the many independent artists at work, as well as their exhibits.
During your walks enjoying the artists’ work, you will often find live music at various venues throughout the town.
