About Ship Island
A beloved offshore destination accessible via the Ship Island ferry, this area covers Fort Massachusetts and the pristine sands of West Ship Island. Typical day trips involve touring the fort, swimming in the clear gulf waters, light bodyboarding, surf fishing, and shelling for intact sand dollars and whelks. Timing your ferry trip with a low tide is a beachcomber's dream; the receding water at West Ship Island reveals pristine, hidden sandbars that are famous for yielding beautiful, unbroken sand dollars and large whelk shells.
