Two food tips: Mike Anderson’s on Bourbon St. for awsome seafood and the Acme Oyster House on Iberville and Royal for great fried oyster/shrimp poboys.
It’s been many years since I was out on Ship Island but back then it was no place to scuba or snorkel. If things haven’t changed, it was hot as h_ _ _ with no shade. Once out there, your’re stuck until the next boat arrives to take you back to the mainland.
