According to the Census Bureau, Diamondhead, Mississippi had a population of just under 6,000 in 2000. In the 1970s, developers hoped to turn the town, located about 40 miles west of Biloxi, into a retirement community. But today, the population is much more diverse as the area continues to bounce back from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Diamondhead, named for the dormant volcano in Hawaii, is a great place for outdoor adventure. Some visitors try their luck on the two golf courses at Diamondhead Country Club. Other outdoor activities in the area include fishing, boating, water skiing, swimming and searching for shells along the Gulf Coast beaches.

Diamondhead Resort

Stay at the Diamondhead Resort and you'll be less than 50 miles from New Orleans and about 15 minutes away from the Silver Slipper Casino in Bay St. Louis. You can get meals at the the hotel restaurant, Jade's Grill and Bar, and can dance and order you favorite libation at Club Nvee. For a snack, Dairy Queen is at the resort. Take a leisurely swim in the on-site pool and after a round of golf, rest those travel-weary muscles in the hotel's spa tub. Room amenities include Internet access and cable television, with a microwave available on request.
