Gogo's take on Beauvoir
“Go. Beauvoir is a scenic, coastal Biloxi neighborhood that is generally safe for visitors exploring the beach, historic grounds, and seaside dining. As with most coastal tourist corridors, standard precautions against opportunistic vehicle property crime are sensible.”
About the area
Beauvoir sits along Biloxi's Gulf Coast shoreline, characterized by moss-draped live oaks, historic estates, and open beach access along Highway 90. It blends quiet residential neighborhoods, vacation rentals, and easy access to coastal recreation and entertainment venues.

Walking and biking in Beauvoir

There are no public bike-share programs, but the multi-use paved path running parallel to Highway 90 provides a continuous, safe corridor for recreational cycling along the coastline.
Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Lower violent crime rates relative to core downtown casino districts
- Direct pedestrian access to the Biloxi Beach boardwalk and Gulf waters
- Stable residential fabric with a notable base of retirees and military-affiliated households
Cons
- High-speed traffic along Highway 90 presents hazards for pedestrians crossing the thoroughfare
- Occasional opportunistic vehicle burglaries in public beach parking bays
- Uneven sidewalk coverage and dim street lighting on interior residential side streets
Homelessness: Visible homelessness is low across the residential and historic zones, though individuals occasionally rest near public beach pavilions or transit stops along Pass Road. There are no major encampments in this area.
What Beauvoir is like at each time of day
- Morning · 5a – 11a
- Peaceful and breezy, with joggers, dog walkers, and anglers frequenting the beach path in a very safe atmosphere.
- Afternoon · 11a – 5p
- Active with beach traffic, museum visitors, and coliseum event attendees with strong overall safety.
- Evening · 5p – 10p
- Pleasant around coastal restaurants, though foot traffic drops away from the main highway.
- Late night · 10p – 5a
- Quiet and largely empty; while violent crime is rare, walking along unlit residential side streets or empty beach stretches alone is not recommended.
Transit, parking and getting around
Coast Transit Authority (CTA) operates public bus service along Highway 90 (Beach Boulevard Route) and Pass Road, providing connections eastward to downtown Biloxi and westward toward Gulfport. There is no rail transit in the region.
Free public parking bays are located along the south side of Highway 90 near the beach, and most businesses and attractions offer ample private surface lot parking.
