MissPres is on vacation this week, but we’re sending postcards back from our travels to the past.
Here, at this recreation center, built on the protecting causeway that encircles the small craft harbor, is the Yacht Club, center of much of the social life of the city, and the nearby white sand beach in season, is the finest of bathing beaches, with gradually sloping bottom, and no undertow.

About ELMalvaney
In addition to ruling over the MissPres universe with an iron fist, Malvaney enjoys reading, wandering around old buildings, stopping to smell the magnolias, fiddling with databases, and sitting on the porch with a good book and a big ol' dog. Non-interests include but are not limited to tweeting, texting, IMing, planking, Angry Birds, and the Twilight series.
When I was growing up, (prior to 1952 or ’53 when the 26 mile beach was first pumped in) this was the only beach in Gulfport, and one of the very few at all along the entire Coast.
