Shopper’s Paradise
As you stroll down Washington Avenue in Ocean Springs, you’ll discover independent boutiques like Hillyer House. This 52-year-old shop boasts a collection of American-made goods—from candles and tableware to home goods and framed art—emphasizing regional artisans. Across town, visit the acclaimed Shearwater Pottery studio for stunning handcrafted pieces inspired by coastal flora and fauna. Browse the showroom’s one-of-a-kind dishes, vases, and decorative tiles, all made on-site since 1928.
You can’t put your toes in the sand without a good read, so be sure to pick up a book from Pass Christian Books. Their selection of local and national authors will please any beachside bookworm. The shop also houses the Cat Island Coffeehouse and boasts an incredible harbor view.
