Bay St. Louis MS is a waterfront city that gets its name from St. Louis Bay, the major waterway that borders the east side of this city known for its art, fishing, and Cajun cuisine. Bay St. Louis was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina but has made significant gains in reconstruction over the past several years. Waterfront homes and lots for sale in Bay St. Louis offer great access to the Jordan & Wolfe Rivers, St. Louis Bay, and the wide open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The following information was obtained through the Gulf Coast Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service, GCAR MLS.
