If you prefer a pool, we highly recommend the pristine pool at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi. Overlooking the Mississippi Sound, it is a calming oasis and perfect spot for a cool dip on a hot summer day.

{THE BLUES}
Mississippi is known as a birthplace of the blues, and its soulful music still lives on today. As the great John Lennon once said, "I wish I could play the guitar like B.B. King." In 2008, the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center was opened to honor Mr. King himself, often called "The King of Blues." Settled on Highway 82 between Greenwood and Greenville, the museum is a must-see. For more information, please visit www.bbkingmuseum.org
