Beachfront Walking and Bike Path
This trail is runs for over three miles directly along the beach, stretching from the Washington Street Pier in Bay St. Louis to the Coleman Avenue Pier in Waveland.  Take a break along the way, sit by the water’s edge and enjoy the acrobatics performed by pelicans and gulls.  Bird watchers will revel in the astonishing variety of species that can be spotted on the trail.  Keep a sharp eye out near Waveland for a bald eagle that’s nested in the area!

Bridge plaque


Leo W. Seal, Jr. Bay Bridge Artwalk

For an unbeatable vista, experience the walking and bike path on the new bridge.  Recently winner of a national People’s Choice award for the best bridge, the path is marked at 1/10 mile intervals by bronze bas relief plaques created from work by some of our most talented artists.  Pylons at both bridge entrances are enormous works of art in themselves and present fabulous photo opportunities.  The unforgettable path is just over 4 miles long roundtrip with moderate inclines.
