Gulf Coast Tourism reinvented itself since the pandemic began, luring visitors to its emerald waters and white sandy beaches while promoting strict safety measures. New hotels and restaurants continue to spring up, attractions such as the new Mississippi Aquarium and the relaunched Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo opened in 2020 and sites hurt by last summer’s hurricanes are rebounding for spring break. Plus, with all the great outdoors for exploration, there’s plenty of ways to enjoy the Gulf Coast this spring and summer while maintaining social distancing.
Here’s our compilation of new Gulf Coast accommodations, great ways to enjoy the outdoors, beaches and otherwise, along with special events and new attractions. The Gulf Coast is open for business, y’all, so make your way east.
