This city is situated in Mississippi, on the west side of the Bay of St Louis, on the Gulf Coast. The prevalent Creole culture is a fusion of French and African influences. The most defining event in recent history was the devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The storm surge reached 30 feet and wreaked havoc, destroying many structures. Among those damaged were several seafront properties, the public library and the Bay St Louis Bridge which broke into segments. Many people were evacuated and some did not return. Others have rebuilt the city and rekindled tourism.
We recommend that you call the attractions and restaurants ahead of your visit to confirm current opening times.
