Named by Dr. William Glover Austin in 1854, many believed the springs in Ocean Springs had healing properties. The jury’s still out about that fact, but at the very least the relaxing atmosphere is sure to calm your nerves.
An artsy community on the Gulf Coast, Ocean Springs is well known for all kinds of festivals, art galleries, eccentric boutiques and ethnic restaurants that you would have trouble finding anywhere else in Mississippi. In 1699, it became the first permanent French Outpost in French Louisiana, and this history is commemorated yearly with re-enactments of the landing and a permanent replica of the original fort, Fort Maurapas. Alongside the art community, it has a well-developed fishing industry that provides fresh fish and other seafood to the area. The laid back culture and relatively well-off community has a large number of families who enjoy low crime, good schools and a quiet life. The lack of a nightlife, excitement and there being no large cities nearby are a problem for people who like the trendy side of life. See more
