Mississippi Weekend Getaways

With only a weekend's time, you might be better off choosing to head right for the Alabama's Gulf Coast. There is so much to see and do here. Casinos, restaurants, nighclubs, and restaurants abound in towns like Gulfport, Biloxi, and Pascagouls. Stroll the boardwalks and do a little shopping too while you attend the Annual Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Festival in April or Annual Mississippi Gulf Coast Blues & Heritage Festival in Pascagoula in September. Check into a lovely little B&B or Inn like the Kate Shepard House in Mobile. Remember to take at least one day of your weekend and visit Old Town Bay St. Louis!

Secluded Mississippi weekend travel for two just a short drive away!

If you happen to live in Mississippi, traveling to a small and secluded place is easy. Lodging rates in small hidden towns like Grenada, Corinth, McComb or Biloxi can be much less expensive. Many of the smaller towns in Mississippi offer great little B&B's or cabin rentals making a quick weekend escape easy and inexpensive. There are always quaint little shops to explore as well as great home cooking at local restaurants. Above all, small towns can offer real quiet and seclusion for a perfect romantic weekend getaway.

A Mississippi Romantic Weekend Getaway right under your nose?

If you live in or near a Mississippi major metropolitan area like Oxford, Tupelo, Jackson or Hattiesburg, there are many great deals and weekend getaway opportunities at your own back door. Off season times are great opportunities to stay at world class resorts close to home for much less than you might expect. Many resorts and spas offer packages designed to entice locals to come and explore the pampering they offer. Although you aren't going far from home, the right resort or hotel can make you feel as if you are another world away.

Mississippi Weekend Getaway - Jet Away!

Hop a flight to see Lake Washington Scenic Route or Delta Blues Museum or attend Sunflower River Blues and Gospel Festival in Clarksdale in August or Slugburger Festival in Corinth in July. Just because it's a weekend doesn't mean it won't be memorable. The important thing to remember when considering far away romantic travel with only a weekend to spare is to find something specific you especially want to experience while you're there. Consider checking out some of the great Mississippi events like Leland Crawfish Festival in May or Annual Cellular South Gum Tree Festival in Tupelo in May. A weekend is definitely not enough time to explore all of Mississippi, but what could be more romantic than hopping a short flight to have a romantic dinner and see a show on Saturday in Oxford, and then enjoy brunch Sunday morning and heading home. Maybe a wonderful Clarksdale resort offers a great weekend spa package for two, giving you just enough time to relax, unwind and connect with one another. The best thing about weekend getaways is they help give us great ideas for future travel destinations. Imagine when you're coworkers ask you "So what did you do this weekend?" you can say "Well, on Saturday I had lunch... in Oxford."
