The Pascagoula River defines the setting of Sawmill Pointe — its low coastal plain of wooded wetlands and tidal waterways gives this part of Mississippi a strongly riverine character. South of here, the river reaches Mississippi Sound, the sheltered waterway separating the mainland from the Gulf Islands. Sawmill Pointe lies within the wider Pascagoula-area coast, where working-waterfront traditions remain important. Ingalls Shipbuilding in nearby Pascagoula is one of the region’s defining industrial institutions, building vessels for the U.S. Navy. Marsh habitat and fishing communities are also central to the character of this coast.
