I love waves. It doesn't matter if they use their middle finger, two fingers or the entire hand, I…read morelove all variety of waves. I guess you could say that I am a bit of a wave aficionado. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this town, cruised along Beach Boulevard waving at everyone and no one returned my wave. It was only then that I realized that Waveland was named for the water waves and not the resident's proclivity for waving as you drive by. Bummer. Despite that disappointing discovery, Waveland is still a great place. Located on the Bay, Waveland has very little wave action as compared to other Gulf Coast Beaches. This means that the water is occasionally murky, but it also means that it is almost always calm, and kid friendly. Waveland differs from Bay St. Louis in a couple of ways. Waveland has one area along Beach Blvd. that has no beach and appears to be an area where people fish and crab. Use caution when driving through that area as the people tend to walk across the road unexpectedly. Another difference is the lack of homes and businesses along the beach road. To some this a good thing and you can have more privacy, but that is often negated by the heavy traffic heading to the Silver Slipper Casino. On my most recent day trip here I found a great spot next to an old pier that had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The pier was a sad reminder of an awful time, but since all that was left was the pilings, the pelicans used it as a resting spot between fishing for lunch. If you go, I would recommend that spot unless of course I am already there. In that case you can find your own spot and add it to your review. In summary, I am an idiot, and this beach is pretty cool.

When we were in the HOT water, saw a stingray swim by our foot, kind of freaked me out a little bit so I quickly shuffled back in shore.

Loved seeing a group with a cooler floating in the water with their fishing poles ... seems like they would be a great group to hang with for a day.

The cost of admission is $15 for adults and will take around 2 hours. They do a guided tour which last for 20 minutes which is a Mary talking about the house 20 minutes straight. For me, my attention span was low that day and everything went in and out of my ear. After that, you get to tour the grounds like the kitchen, guest quarters, etc which I enjoyed the most. The place is pretty big. Make sure when you head back to go to the 2nd floor as there are a lot of artifacts. It was worth my time going however.

The Bay St. Louis beach is one of the best kept secrets within an hour or so drive of New Orleans. Because the beach is located on the bay (as opposed to the gulf), the water is usually calmer and clearer than in the Gulfport/Biloxi area. On my most recent trip, the water was not very clear, but it was windy, and a storm was moving in. The beach is also significantly less crowded than the beach further up the road, which makes for a nice family friendly spot to enjoy the beach. I have been coming the the coast of Mississippi since I was a kid. While it is significantly different from my childhood, I will always love this area. First the casinos came to town and changed the area, then Katrina. Seeing the empty lots where homes and camps used to stand still hurts my heart. Where modest family camps used to stand there are only vacant lots or giant mansions. I don't mind the mansions, but those empty lots are a haunting reminder of the hurricane. Even though the area has yet to fully recover, the beach is great. I encourage everyone who needs to feel the sand between their toes to hop in a car and make the drive.

My friend and I also walked across it from Harrah's to the Ocean Springs side and back. It is 1.75 miles from end to end and has a 95 foot clearance. The bridge is smooth and easy to ride and walk.
