Back Bay Neighborhood Guide
Back Bay is a quiet residential peninsula tucked into West Biloxi, bordered by Pass Road and the calm waters of the Back Bay of Biloxi, well removed from the casino corridor and beach traffic that define much of the Gulf Coast. The neighborhood draws a largely retired, water-oriented crowd who come specifically for protected bay access, and the well-kept private docks along the waterfront reflect how seriously residents take that priority. It carries the feel of a place where people have put down real roots, with a low-key, established character that values stillness over spectacle. Prospective buyers should go in clear-eyed about flood insurance, which is a genuine carrying cost for waterfront properties in this part of South Mississippi, not a footnote.
