Try the Mississippi Gulf Coast---Gulfport\/Biloxi. There was still residual damage from Katrina but it was being cleaned up when I went thru there a year and a half ago. There are available hotels\/motels, and it's a straight shot south and closer. Take I-55 south to Jackson to US49 south. You can get the exact directions and distance from mapquest. US90 is the east-west road along the beach \"Beach Road.\" Check it out, it may be the alternative that you're looking for. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Gulf Shores, AL is very nice and an easy drive. It can be as secluded as you want, or full of 'excitement.' I never notice a bunch of Memphians when there. Seems like people come from all areas....just like any beach in the U.S. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

St. George Island Vacation Rentals and Real Estate - Suncoast Realty & Property Management Inc. <\/p>\n
The above link is one of plenty of vacation property rental places. I use them because their rates are usually lower than anyone else on the island. I am in NO WAY affiliated with or related to them, so feel free to Google \"St. George Island, FL\" for more info. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

My favorite beach is Corpus Christi \/ Padre Island, which is a 13-hour drive from Memphis, four hours longer than Panama City Beach. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

MS and even AL are too dirty for my taste. The MS river dumps everything practically at your feet that far west. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
