How to Use This Long Beach, Mississippi Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Long Beach, Mississippi. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Mississippi or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Long Beach.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Long Beach occupies a singular space where the heavy, salt-thickened air of the Gulf of Mexico settles over the flat, sandy soil. It lies 3.8 miles west-southwest of Gulfport, MS (from Gulfport, MS: bearing 252°T), and is situated 6.1 miles east-northeast of Pass Christian. The horizon here is defined by the expansive, shifting surface of the water, which pulls the light into long, shimmering ribbons during the late afternoon. Travelers moving inland might encounter the quiet currents of Canal Number One, a waterway that marks the transition from the shore to the wooded lowlands. Beyond the immediate reach of the coast, the landscape remains subtle and unassuming, though those seeking elevation can look toward the distant silhouette of Great Sand Hill. Even the presence of Cat Island, visible as a faint smudge against the sky, reminds the observer that the land is merely a threshold to the vast, open expanse of the gulf.

Long Beach developed its identity through the steady, patient rhythm of maritime trade and the cultivation of local harvests. The economy has historically leaned into the bounty provided by the water, supporting industries that process the daily catch and maintain the infrastructure of the harbor. Generations of laborers have worked the earth and the shoreline, building a legacy that favors endurance over rapid, volatile expansion. While the modern commercial landscape has diversified, the spirit of the local industry remains tethered to the essential tasks of transport and resource management. The quiet industry of the region ensures that the pace of life remains deliberate, reflecting a history shaped by both the storms that sweep in from the water and the calm periods of growth that follow.

The cultural character of Long Beach is expressed in the unpretentious gatherings at Gaston Point Park, where the shade of the trees offers a reprieve from the persistent coastal sun. Residents often mark the passage of time through the seasonal festivals that honor the bounty of the Gulf of Mexico, drawing people together under the wide, gray-blue skies. While the town maintains a modest profile, it has been shaped by the creative output of individuals like the writer Philibert de Comminges, whose work captures the sensory weight of this specific geography. Life moves with a quiet gravity here, evidenced by the way people navigate the local streets and the pride taken in maintaining the integrity of their neighborhood spaces. The landmarks are not grandiose, but they serve as steady anchors for a community that values its connection to the land and the water.
