Nothing will work up your appetite faster than a day out on the water. This may be a well-known fact, yet there aren’t many outfitters that serve great grub – in addition to renting the supplies needed to have some water-related fun. However, there is one spot where you can grab some great grub AND rent a kayak, and it’s as awesome as it sounds.

Presley’s Outing in Moss Point has everything you could want in a summer destination – and more!

Boating is also a popular pastime, and luckily, Presley’s Outing rents kayaks (as well as paddle boards). Both single and double kayaks are available and can be rented by the hour.
