Life in Ocean Springs
•Ocean Springs Ranked Number 5 for the Best Coastal Small Town in 2021 by USA Today
–“Known as the “City of Discovery,” the historic coastal town of Ocean Springs is the perfect place for visitors to relax and enjoy. After exploring downtown with its quaint cottage-like Main Street, artistic flair, and small-town appeal, head to the beach for a day in the sun. Stroll along miles of soft white sand, and find more tranquil stretches of beach for romantic walks or moonlight picnics. Take a boat cruise and enjoy dinner and a magnificent sunset, or paddleboard, kayak, or canoe along river bayous and through constantly developing natural marshlands.” Best Coastal Small Town Winners (2021) | USA TODAY 10Best
