I had no reference for it other than its James Beard-nominated restaurant, Vestige, and a slight familiarity with the Walter Anderson Museum. So, en route to New Orleans on a road trip, I decided to check it out and came away thinking Ocean Springs is one of the undiscovered gems to visit in 2024. I fell in love with the charming, friendly, and picturesque small Mississippi town. If you like the vibe of Florida’s 30A—Rosemary, Grayton, Seaside—then add Ocean Springs to your list ..read more
