Other than Pass Christian, MS there are dozens of small towns in Mississippi up and down the coast. Each deserves to be explored and enjoyed so that we can keep the small-town coastal vibe strong. Here are a few of the best small towns in MS:
- Natchez, MS: Some call Natchez the bed and breakfast capital of the world - while that may or may not be true, it is a delightful town with many charming bed & breakfasts. You'll also love the scenic views of the Mississippi River, the historic homes, walking trails, and a happening nightlife.
- Ocean Springs, MS: This small town near Bay St. Louis is similar in that it is a vibrant art town.
