1. Outdoor Adventure
Paddle down the bayou in a canoe or kayak to see the natural beauty of the Coast. Learn about birds and other wildlife with a visit to the Pascagoula River Audubon Center.

Then wander around the quaint downtown area of Ocean Springs, which boasts great shopping, including specialty boutiques and art galleries. Immerse yourself in the culture of the Coast with a trip to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, dedicated to the work of the 20th-century American painter.
