OCEAN SPRINGS.   These Barrier Islands off the coast of Mississippi offer stunning scenic beauty in an unspoiled natural habitat. Clear water, shimmering sand, fertile marshes and a broad array of plant and animal life make a trip here a fascinating experience. Tour Civil War forts, explore wildlife, fish in the rich Gulf waters or simply relax on the beach. Campgrounds, picnic areas, informative park rangers and concession stands let visitors make a day or a weekend of it. Access by boat only; tours leave from Gulfport, Biloxi and Ocean Springs.
