MEMORABLE FINDS
on the Coastline
Story by Kelsey Sunderman-Foster
We get it—even on vacation, sometimes you need to pick up a few essentials. But in Coastal Mississippi, shopping turns into something far more memorable. Shopping local on the Coast is about soaking up the charm of our Coastal communities, connecting with friendly shop owners, and uncovering treasures you won’t find anywhere else.
All across the Coast, you’ll find beloved mom-and-pop shops that have been part of the community for generations. These small-town stores offer more than just great finds—a warm welcome, a personal touch, and often, a slice of local history.
Wander through Downtown Bay St. Louis, where art galleries, antique shops, and whimsical boutiques line the streets. As you stroll along Main Street, you’ll find handcrafted jewelry, vintage décor, and unexpected gems—each with a story to tell and a smiling local to tell it!
A short drive away, Ocean Springs invites you to slow down and explore its walkable downtown packed with artisan goods, cozy cafés, and stylish Southern-chic boutiques. Whether you’re looking for handmade candles, locally crafted artwork, or your new favorite outfit, this vibrant town always delivers.
If you’re after convenience, you’ll find plenty of modern shopping centers that make life easy. Head to The Promenade Parkway in D’Iberville, a shopper’s paradise offering everything from Target and Walmart to Old Navy, Coral Boutique, and Kohl’s. Grab a quick bite at one of the many fast- casual spots or sit down to enjoy your meal, relaxing after a day of retail therapy.
In Gulfport, explore Gulfport Premium Outlets for unbeatable deals from your favorite designer brands, including Kate
