When you’re exploring Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, dining outside is a must. Harbor View Cafe is a waterfront restaurant in Mississippi that should not be missed. From the food to the views, this local eatery is a homerun. Let’s check it out:

Harbor View Cafe has been a Gulf Coast favorite since 1994.

The original restaurant was located in Pass Christian, but sadly it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.


The cafe relocated to an off-water location in Long Beach in 2006, but always wanted to return to the water. In 2011, Harbor View Cafe completed construction on its current location and has been enjoying those harbor views ever since!

There is seating both indoors and outside.

We’d recommend grabbing a table on the patio so you can enjoy those beautiful Long Beach Harbor views.

The cafe is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Starting your day off with a Harbor View Cafe breakfast is always a good idea.

The breakfast menu features both sweet and savory breakfast items, so there’s something for everyone.

Lunch and dinner options include everything from monster-sized po’boys, refreshing salads, seafood pasta, and more.

The burgers at Harbor View Cafe are legendary.

Build your own from the bun up or go with one of the cafe’s signature burgers.

You’ll also find several signature cocktails you’ll want to try.

Enjoying a cocktail on the patio with the harbor breeze passing through is a perfect way to spend an evening.

Next time you're visiting Long Beach, be sure to pay a visit to this local favorite.
