Ocean Springs is a small, coastal community located on the Gulf of Mexico with a population of nearly 18,000. Founded in 1699 by French explorer Pierre Le Moyne d’iberville, this city has a rich history and a passion for southern hospitality, preservation, arts and entertainment.
Downtown, uptown and all around town, Ocean Springs is bustling with commerce and creativity. Start your stroll in the walkable downtown area and visit our hundreds of shops, restaurants and galleries in an outdoor shopping setting. Grab a map from the Ocean Springs Visitors Center located inside the historic L&N Train Depot to guide you to all your shopping and dining must-dos!
Venture to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art to discover the South’s most elusive artist, or follow the arts trail to see the public art pieces scattered throughout the community.
From our community calendar stacked with fun, family-friendly events to continued
development and beauti cation efforts, it’s fair to wonder when our city ever sleeps! We invite you to experience the magic of Ocean Springs for yourself.
