Ocean Springs - The City of Discovery
Ocean Springs, Mississippi, lies at the heart of the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast on the eastern shore of Biloxi Bay. It's known as the City of Discovery in recognition of the French establishment of a settlement here in 1699. Don't let that overshadow the history of Indigenous Americans admiring this land, prior to European discovery, for its resources and beauty. Now in the 21st century, Ocean Springs has a unique character with subtle influences from various cultures and eras over the past 300 years. There is truly no place like OS!
