Gulfside Assembly Cemetery
Not an official cemetery, just 3 graves located on church grounds. Two bishops are buried here and the wife of one.
Directions:
From Highway 90 take Nicholson Avenue south. Go all the way to Beach Boulevard (about 1.6 miles). Turn right. After approximately 2.6 miles you will see the Gulfside Assembly church complex. Turn right immediately past the temporary church building (2008). Look for the 3 graves to your left near the back of the property, where this road makes a 90 degree turn to the right.
