Ocean Springs, Ms. is a quaint little town nestled in South Mississippi on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico. Although battling many devastating hurricanes such as, Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005, it has always rebuilt and overcome those tragedies as a STRONG COMMUNITY. Through out the year the town has many community events held in its old charm downtown area like the famous Peter Anderson Festival where people come from all over to attend. This festival honors the son of the famous local Artist Walter Anderson. The beaches, bay's, and bayou's are always in use with local fisherman, fishing for sport or trying to help feed their family. The town of Ocean Springs is also comprised of locally owned eateries, with menus of succulent seafood caught right here on the Gulf Coast. Ocean Springs is truly a hidden gem of the Mississippi Gulf Coast!
The state of Mississippi generally has a poor reputation for many reasons, but when you visit our little corner of the state in Ocean Springs, you can easily see that we Mississippians are just a little bit misunderstood. We may not have the fanciest stores or prettiest beaches you've ever seen, but we do have our hidden gems; the most prized treasure we have to offer is our hospitality. Our quality of people is something that money cannot buy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy traveling and experiencing new places, cultures, people, and more, but it's always nice to have that "coming home" feeling - especially when you're a part of such an amazing community.
Ocean Springs is one of the top cities to live in Mississippi. The downtown is very quaint and has an abundance of local shops and restaurants.
