The District

Explore Downtown

From Tootsie's to the Highway 613 bridge: the shops, tables, and front porches that make downtown Moss Point worth the trip, plus the Audubon Center and the river.

One walkable district

Downtown unfolds along the river.

The shops, the tables, and the riverfront sit within a few blocks of each other, anchored by Burnham's Drugs on Main Street since 1902.
