Gulf Coast. Locally, we are known as an artistic
community. We are proud of the many nationally recognized
painters and potters who call Ocean Springs home
and of the more than 100 unique shops, museums,
and galleries that support of our artistic heritage.
Ocean Springs is a Mississippi Main Street community.
We pride ourselves on our walk able downtown and
our many thriving business districts. We also support
the preservation of our many historic buildings.
Even our own Chamber of Commerce- Main Street &
Tourist center, which is housed in the historic
L & N Train Depot, turned 100 in 2007. These
buildings give character to the landscape and make
our downtown unmistakably our own.
Ocean Springs, Mississippi, lies at the heart of the beautiful
Mississippi Gulf Coast on the eastern shore of Biloxi Bay. It’s known
as the City of Discovery in recognition of the French establishment of
a settlement here in 1699. Long before the French arrived, however, the
area was appreciated for its beauty and natural resources by Native
Americans. The attributes that brought these early residents have
attracted a diverse stream of people during the past 300 years. Ocean
Springs has been flavored by many influences during its rich history,
and now in the 21st century, it has a unique character that makes us
happy to call it home.
Please visit the Ocean Springs Chamber of
Commerce for additional visitor information or call (228) 875-4424.
