| State Park Overview: |
| Located on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico and just 50 miles from historic New Orleans, Buccaneer State Park is a year-round vacation spot rich in coastal beauty and recreational opportunities. The area now encompassed by the park was frequented by pirates in the 1700s, and figures prominently in mysterious tales of smuggling and buried treasure. Today Buccaneer State Park is best known for its exciting wave pool, which provides a safe yet exciting setting for summer rafting and body surfing, and as a winter retreat where the mild temperatures allow outdoor recreation year-round. |

A great weekend escape
Was a great weekend place to bring the kids. With recession on, Mississippi needs to get moving with its re-opening. It would be an economical way for people to spend quality time with their kids.

One of our favorite parks
It is sad to know the state if Mississippi havs not moved on the very fast! Buccaneer was the number ones state park for years and years.
I think the people in Hancock County should have some say about the park, like what they would like to have in the park and things that might help it come back faster.
I think they should let you have Golf Carts in the park also.

Just a tank away
Buccaneer was a wonderful place to go and spend time with family. Children of all ages had things to do. No complaining! Hope it reopens soon.
