Is There a Gulf Coast City That Shares Its State's Name?

Short Answer: No.

No major city on the Gulf of Mexico bears the exact name of its state.

Common Confusions

• Tampa – in Florida (not "Florida City" – that's a small town inland, not on Gulf).
• Houston, Corpus Christi, Galveston – in Texas.
• Mobile – in Alabama.
• New Orleans, Baton Rouge – in Louisiana.
• Pensacola, Panama City – in Florida.
• Biloxi, Gulfport – in Mississippi.

Near Misses

• Texas City, TX – on Galveston Bay (Gulf-connected), but "Texas City" ≠ "Texas".
• Florida City, FL – near Everglades, not Gulf coast.
• Louisiana, MO – on Mississippi River, far inland.

Why the Question Exists

Trivia puzzles sometimes expect "None" or confuse state capitals (e.g., Tallahassee is FL's capital, not on Gulf).
