Early Morning Activities in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Area

Home-Cooked Breakfasts

Start your day off right when you book a room at a bed and breakfast. Instead of basic hotel items like muffins or instant coffee, one of the signatures of a bed and breakfast is a home-cooked meal. B&B owners often wake up early to cook and prepare hearty meals that include Mississippi cuisine, fresh pots of coffee, and homemade pastries.

Start off each day with a full meal right inside the same location where you stay at. Engage in conversation, read the local newspaper, and plan the day ahead of you. In many cases, you will receive a full menu ahead of time so you know what to expect for breakfast each morning. When the owners know your typical wake-up time, they can ensure the meal is fresh and ready.

Chartered Fishing Trips

One of the earliest morning adventures you can embark on is a chartered fishing trip. A chartered trip tends to leave the dock early in the morning so the boat can reach their destination and catch some fish while they swim actively. In many cases, you can watch the sunrise right from the boat and enjoy extended periods of fishing.



Choose from half-day charters or full-day trips. For your first trip, a half-day adventure is an ideal way to go through the experience and know if you want to return in the future. If you wake up early, the trip is easy to book, and you feel energized by the fresh sea air.

Casino Trips

If you want some early morning entertainment, then consider visiting one of the casinos in the Gulfport area. One of the main benefits of a casino is early-morning access on most days of the week. You have the opportunity to visit no matter how early you wake up.

When you visit a casino in the morning, the crowds will typically be small, and you will have your pick at several different slot machines. If you want to eat, then casinos often offer 24-hour dining options along with a variety of buffet choices. Casinos offer multiple ways to spend hours at the location and could become an early-morning tradition for your vacation.



Check casino calendars for special morning events. For example, some casinos may offer a morning bingo session. Plan your days around the schedule, and you'll have multiple morning activities to enjoy in the area.

Farmer's Market

If you like to enjoy local cuisine while on vacation, then consider visiting some of the farmer's markets in the Gulfport area. During the weekends, farmer's markets will open up early in the morning. Visit to enjoy some fresh fruits and vegetables you can eat while on vacation.

One of the options includes The Farmers Market at Long Beach. Hosted every Saturday, the market opens at 8 am and features several stands. Along with fresh fruits and vegetables, the stands may also feature prepared foods made with the ingredients. Shop for snacks and baked goods you can enjoy while on vacation.
