Roadside lodging would soon evolve into quaint cabin courts in the 1930s\, offering more substantial lodgings\, and eventually into more modern motels in the 1940s\, ‘50sand ‘60s.This highly visual talk is filled with period postcards as well as vintage and contemporary photography and as it will highlight many of the classic tourist courts and motels still in operation along the route\, it is a “must see” for anyone planning a road trip to get their kicks on 66! \n\n\n\nRally Theme\n\n\n\nSchool Spirit – show some school pride\, whether from your high school  or college.

SUMMARY:Tin Can Tourists' Mississippi Tiki Beach Rally
DESCRIPTION:Tin Can Tourists’ Mississippi Tiki Beach Rally! \n\n\n\nWhen: May 28-31\, 2026Where: Buccaneer State Park\, Waveland\, Mississippi \n\n\n\nRegistration: No rally fee is required. To secure your spot\, book your site directly through the Mississippi State Park website: https://reserve.mdwfp.com/. Be sure to select Buccaneer State Park and choose your preferred site from the 250 full hookup options available. \n\n\n\nSite Selection: The main TCT area will be located in the Gulf View sites (#207-#250)\, which are situated almost directly on the beach. However\, members are free to book any site that suits their preferences. Some factors to consider when choosing your site: \n\n\n\n• Gulf View sites: These sites are in full sun\, but the sea breeze can make them feel cooler than the inland sites with partial or full shade. Additionally\, the ocean breeze tends to keep flying insects at bay. Keep in mind that the bathhouse is a bit of a walk from these sites\, so you may want to consider biking or driving to the bathrooms. There are also two beach side tiny homes that are can be reserved in the Gulf View sites if your trailer is not road ready and you still want to attend!  \n\n\n\n• Inland sites: These sites are closer to the bathrooms and showers\, but may have more flying insects due to the lack of breeze. If you prefer an inland site\, the ‘Jean Lafitte’ loop (sites #1-25) would be a good option\, as they’re relatively close to the main TCT area. \n\n\n\nPark Amenities: Buccaneer State Park offers a range of amenities to enhance your stay\, including: \n\n\n\n• Water Park: Enjoy several water slides\, a wave pool\, kids’ area\, café\, sun decks\, and cabanas. Admission is $21 per adult for a full day\, or $13 after 2 pm. \n\n\n\n• Vintage Campground Pool: For just $6 per day\, you can enjoy the vintage pool\, which features two waterfalls and provides a great way to cool off. Your armband allows for in-and-out privileges. \n\n\n\n• Hiking Trails: Explore the park’s natural beauty on foot or by bike. \n\n\n\n• Camp Store: Stock up on supplies and souvenirs at the park’s convenient store. \n\n\n\n• Playground: Let the kids burn off energy at the park’s playground. \n\n\n\n• Fishing: Try your luck at catching some fish in the local waters. \n\n\n\nSurrounding Area: The park is located near several popular attractions and amenities\, including: \n\n\n\n• Miles of biking and walking trails along the water• Public fishing piers• Casinos• Nearby towns:o Waveland (7 miles)o Bay St Louis (12 miles)o Gulfport (22 miles)o Biloxi (47 miles)o New Orleans (57 miles) \n\n\n\nRally Schedule: This will be a relaxed rally\, allowing plenty of time for socializing\, exploring\, and enjoying the park’s amenities. We’ll have a TIKI Beach Party potluck on Friday evening\, which is a great opportunity to meet new members and have some fun. \n\n\n\nAfter booking your site\, please send an email to TCT.Heintz@Gmail.com with your name and site number to add yourself to the list. This will help us keep track of attendees and ensure everyone has a great time. We look forward to seeing you at the rally!
