Wikipedia
The Mississippi Gulf Coast refers to the three Mississippi counties which lie on the Gulf of Mexico: Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties.
The region was severely damaged by Hurricane Camille in 1969 and again by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Although the broad reference is to an entire region of the state, this phrase is most commonly used as a general replacement for the names of any or all towns which lie either directly on the coastline or along one of its bays, but not for towns in northern regions of the three coastal counties. The relevant towns include, from west to east, Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi, D'Iberville, Ocean Springs, Gautier, Pascagoula and Moss Point.
