Weekend getaway at Ocean Springs MS

Thanks for the info!

we did something similar a couple weeks ago
Govt Street Grocery - good beer selection
Lady May for brunch very good
beach access has a pier you can access as well
biloxi right down street you can go to Lucy's Surfer Bar and Restaurant and they have a bar area that opens up to the beach

if the weather is nice catch a meal and a hang at the shed just north of the interstate. food is just ok (certainly enjoyable) but the scene is very cool. if theres a band playing, all the better

I love Ocean Springs. It's really laid back. If you get bored, all you have to do is cross the bridge to have access to more "activities."

We always drive the coast in and out.

The beach is low key. Families stroll at sunset. Older couples will set up chairs and read. Plenty of people walking their dogs.

Some people rent golf carts. I think it's too small of a footprint so we just walk it.

You can walk downtown and hit all the shops in a morning. The best ones in my opinion are The Pink Rooster, Ocean Springs Mercantile, Coastal, Magpie, Hillyer House, Poppy's, and My Happy Place. Poppy's always has some sort specialty cocktail for sale in the back.

They're trying to channel Key West vibes. You'll see chickens walk in and out of some of the restaurants.

The food is pretty good across the board. Glory Bound is awesome. In my opinion, we've only been to a couple of places that are overrated. You'll mostly have a good time. There's a popsicle and ice cream stand downtown on a side-street if you want something non-acholic and cold. If you want to spend the night at the hotel watching a movie, pick up a pizza from Tom's. The Roost has a small speakeasy that's good if you really want to focus on each other.

The Walter Anderson Museum is worth a visit. The Ohr-O'Keefe Museum is right across the bridge (as is the Paradise Pier Fun Park and Margaritaville arcade).

Nice little community. If you get bored, the Beau Rivage is 10 minutes away.
