The Chimneys, Gulfport, Mississippi

Slide 12 of 31: Mississippi has some of the best beaches in the US and a string of oceanfront resorts and restaurants to take full advantage of it. The Chimneys, right opposite the water in Gulfport, strikes the perfect balance between Southern charm and relaxed, oceanfront vibes. The best tables are on the covered porch or right by the windows, which frame magnificent oak trees, a streak of pale-sand beach and the hazy blue of the ocean. The food is also coastal Southern, with seafood gumbo and crab cakes, claws, stuffed mushrooms... the list goes on!
