Fort Massachusetts

"Been going to Ship Island for 34 years love it Ft Massachusetts tour is a flash of history."

"Very neat place!! Love the history of it! I highly recommend visiting if you have the chance!!"

"It's a great historic site. Would love to see it when the national park services complete repairs after Katrina. It is an hour boat ride from Gulf Port to the island."

"Great for the location and a place where you can learn about history as well as take a swim off an Island without having to spend a lot of money the tickets to get to the Island we're very reasonable like 25$ for adults and 15 for kids. The boat ride over took around 1 hour and was a great adventure in its self.. The Dolphins swimming beside the boat was exciting the whole way there and other Sea animals where easy to spot as well as the boat has a nice eating and refreshment area to enjoy your self after ir before the Island docking. once you get to the Island there are restrooms, gift shop and eating. All you really need to bring is a towel and a fun spirit.. plus you get to see a Awesome fort that was used to prepare to defend our great Country USA."

"Amazing place to visit. Accessible only by watercraft. We rode private watercraft to island. There are charter boats that go there. There are guided tours I think at 1:30 during the week and 11:30 and 1:30 on peak days. Otherwise, you can self guide yourself through the fort. I think it's really nice because, first of all it's free, and second it's not crowded. We were the only ones in the fort except for one employee clearing water out. The beach on the gulf side of the island is actually very nice. They have chair and umbrella rentals, snack shack, bathrooms, and nice walkways. That was really neat. There was a tour boats worth of people on the beach so it wasn't overly crowded. If you can, I highly recommend checking it out."
