Other Lighthouse Information:
The Biloxi lighthouse survived several Hurricanes over the years. In 1969 during Hurricane Camille the sea's surge was 17 ½ feet and in 2005 Hurricane Katrina had a an average of 21 ½ feet above sea level. Hurricane Katrina's storm surge enveloped a third of the 64 foot tall lighthouse. The Gulf Coast was devastated but is slowly coming back. The lighthouse's rededication ceremony was on February 19, 2010. The lighthouse is open for tours. During the holidays it is decorated.The Lighthouse Hunters Experience:
The lighthouse is on the median on Highway 90 in Biloxi, Mississippi, so you can't miss it. We were in a rush in 2004 so we only took a few shots. In 2018 we were on the USLHS Gulf Coast Tour with 38 other lighthouse hunters. The charter bus brought us to the Gulf Coast lights in four states and to the several boat charters. We prefer to drive ourselves and to take pictures of the lighthouses without having to wait for the masses to leave.Photographed it: March 24, 2004 / April 19, 2018
