Gulfport is an eclectic ‘Old Florida’ fishing village which is truly unique in modern day Florida. You have wide open waterfront views with over 30 dining and shopping options within walking distance. This eclectic community is home to many artists of all genres. The First Friday and Third Saturday Art Walks showcase some of that talent. Gulfport also boasts something most small towns don't. A Casino Ballroom which offers dancing five nights a week; a professional 170 seat theater (with two local theater groups in residence) Most importantly Gulfport is a 'community' in the true sense of the word. It is at once embracing and eclectic.
Gulfport gives people the feeling of being transported in time to a place where the pace is slower, the people friendlier and the priority is to just relax and enjoy the view. However, for as relaxing as Gulfport may be it is also a vibrant town. There is always something to do if you choose. Live music abounds in many of the local establishments; there are galleries and shops to cater to anyone's whims and many festivals from Get Rescued in Gulfport dog rescue events to Geckofest.
For the outdoor adventurer Gulfport offers lots of 'green spaces.' There are numerous parks, nature trails, birding trails and we are just off the Pinellas Bike Trail. You can rent a kayak or a sailboat and enjoy the calm waters of Boca Ciega Bay. Tourists can even dock behind the Casino and explore the City.
Gulfport's charm lies in its community. The Gulfport Chamber of Commerce strives to be the heart of that community.
