The waterfront community of "Old Town" is known throughout the South for its eclectic art colony, historic district, restaurants, shops, cafes, stately houses and charming cottages. Bay St. Louis was chosen in 2010 as one of Coastal Living magazine's top ten beach communities in the country. The most recent accolade bestowed to the historic city is its ranking as one of Budget Travel's "coolest" towns.
