SHOP ‘TIL YOU
THE ART OF
If you’re unacquainted with food culture, let us enlighten you: here in Ocean Springs, we believe that good eats are about more than the food, it’s about the experience.
Drop Food
If you can’t find it here, you can’t find it anywhere. Ocean Springs is the Coast’s largest shopping destination with more than 100 unique shops! Shoppers are sure to find one-of-a- kind items, including handmade jewelry, artisanal pottery, paintings, prints and more in this community of artists.
When it comes to fashion, Ocean Springs is up on the top trends, offering regionally beloved brands and well-known designers alike. Most of our shops are locally-owned, so don’t be surprised if you receive service from the store’s proprietor themselves.
The walkable downtown area is the perfect place to spend a day drifting from store to store (and maybe grabbing a bite in between). Retail options are almost endless with colorful window displays, vibrant galleries, and, of course, welcoming smiles.
Shopping
Ocean Springs is known for its huge selection of dining options, making it ideal for foodies. We’ve got everything from gyros to oysters on the half shell and everything in between. Don’t even get us started on dessert! Each bite is an Instagram-able work of art, and a tasty one at that. Whether you’re looking for freshly-made pastries or gourmet popsicles, Ocean Springs has it all.
Looking for heartier fare? Our award-winning restaurants have been perfecting their recipes for years, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy some of the best steaks of your life here. Barbecue more your speed? Roll up your sleeves and make sure you’ve
got plenty of napkins handy, because barbecue is one thing we take
very seriously.
