Things to do
Family-friendly fun in Bay Saint Louis
Buccaneer State Park is a popular spot to enjoy the coastal scenery of the area and is just a few miles down the road from Bay Saint Louis. The seasonal waterpark is a big draw and kids will love the slides, wave pool and wet playground for little ones, while adults will enjoy the lounging areas and views of the Gulf of Mexico. Elsewhere in the park, a nature trail winds through magnolia and oak trees to a pier over a bayou, where coastal birds like pelicans, osprey and egrets can be seen. There are also playgrounds and lawns that are perfect for family picnics.
Activities
See the sights in Old Town Bay Saint Louis
While you may be tempted to head to neighboring cities like Gulfport for entertainment, Bay Saint Louis offers some charming local spots to check out, and a sightseeing excursion is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with this little beachside town. Most of the local shops and eateries are located in the Old Town area around Main Street, where you'll find cute brunch spots and antique shops to fill your belly and your bags. There are some notable buildings to see around here, too, like the 1905 City Hall and a landmark train depot built in 1928.
Weather
Perfect beach days in Bay Saint Louis
Bay Saint Louis' southern location on the Gulf of Mexico means it rarely gets very cold, with highs in the 60s, even in the middle of winter, and average lows several notches above freezing. If you plan to visit the beaches in your swim gear, though, you might want to come in the warmer months of spring, summer and fall. June through September can be steamy, heating up into the 90s, so plan to cool off with swims in the ocean or look for a Bay Saint Louis vacation rental with a pool to splash around in for visits during this time.
Natural features
Explore the islands around Bay Saint Louis
There's so much nature to discover around your Bay Saint Louis vacation rental, with the Gulf of Mexico for a neighbor and the lakes, bayous and wildlife refuges of the New Orleans area just a few miles away.

You'll need to take a boat, but seasonal ferries leave from Gulfport for West Ship Island, where you'll find an old fort, sandy swimming beaches, boardwalks and an abundance of sea life, including bottlenose dolphins and seals.
