VISITORS!
The team at the Ocean Springs Chamber of Commerce-Main Street-Tourism Bureau welcomes you to our vibrant coastal community of Ocean Springs.
As one of the oldest communities, founded in 1699, our passion for preservation and history runs deep. From the more than 300-year-old live oak trees lining downtown to the largest fine arts festival in the state, the Peter Anderson Arts & Crafts Festival, our quirky little arts community is filled with all the activities and opportunities needed to make this your next favorite place to visit or call home.
We have more than 140 local businesses in downtown surrounded by many more throughout the city limits. Festivals and community events can be found every month of the year, and we proudly boast a foodie vibe with more than
100 restaurants and bars that will make your mouth water and toes tap. With dozens of recreational facilities and natural beauty, this Mississippi Gulf Coast town invites you to experience the best we have to offer. We are the “Best Coastal Small Town” voted by USA Today and we want you to come celebrate with us!
On behalf of our great city, thank you for visiting our beautiful and charming town. We are so glad that you are here.
Ocean Springs is the place to be. I invite you to enjoy everything our city has to offer. We truly have the best places to shop, eat, and stay. Whether you take a stroll on our scenic beach or visit one of our vibrant art galleries, there is something here for everyone.
The City of Discovery is filled with rich history and culture that draws you in so you can fully experience what our creative and unique community has to offer. I am so proud to be mayor of a town that has some of the friendliest people in the world. They are what makes this place so special.
As you explore our beloved city, you will soon understand why so many continue to love this city as much as I do.
