South Mississippi could have another contender to become the 13th casino on the Coast.

On Thursday, South Beach Casino & Resort goes before the Mississippi Gaming Commission for site approval.

This proposed casino site at 6081 South Beach Blvd. in the Clermont Harbor development and Lakeshore area of Hancock County is just shy of 4 acres.

If approved, this would be the third casino site in about two miles of the beach. The 3.93 acre property is east of Silver Slipper Casino and adjacent to a 98.5-acre site owned by Cure Land Co. that got site approval but hasn’t yet been built. The sites are just west of Buccaneer State Park.
