This fact compares it very favorably to the 1540-foot long Gulf State Park Pier in Gulf Shores, which is billed as the longest pier on the Gulf of Mexico. The marina itself jets out into the Sound on an artificial peninsula more than 1500-feet long. The site juts into the Mississippi Sound and once sheltered a huge casino barge and provided 118 berths to powerboats. The Broadwater Marina, located on the former 260 acres of the President Casino, long swept away by Hurricane Katrina, is private property but is open to the public. During the fall Spanish mackerel often make their appearance here and with the right tackle (spoons, mullet etc.) they are a lot of fun to catch. As with any beachfront pier in Mississippi the Coliseum Pier is a great place to snag Sheepshead, croaker, white trout, saltwater catfish and flounder when bottom fishing with cut bait or shrimp. At 900 linear feet long, the Coliseum pier is perfectly positioned along the water to provide a stable platform for harvesting saltwater fish from the Sound. In front of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum and Convention Center, the City of Biloxi maintains its pride and keeps here the longest coastal pier in Harrison County. ![]()
