While you’re checking, check the Orange Beach AL area as well as Pensacola/Navarre. Especially if you want real beach. I lived in Alabama the first 49 years of life and traveled the AL/FL coast a lot. Not that I don’t like MS, it’s a fine state. But further east is a different shore for shore. The Gulf Stream makes its turn at about Dolphin Island and back easterly. Typically with clearer blue waters. Blue waters, at least away from bay drainage, and the whitest beaches ever seen. Not to mention Apalachicola oysters.

Keep in mind that fishing quality is key. I’m used to pretty good fishing. Crabbing, too.

Buddy of mine’s in laws have a family camp in Bay St. Louis.
Not on the beach, but it has water access.
They love it down there.
They don’t fish, but stay on the water with pontoons, skiing and jet skis.

My wife and I are going to flee the cesspool that is Oregon and we’re thinking about finding a place in Mississippi on the water.
Before I get flamed for being from Oregon, be advised: I like boobs, a lot Trannies are sick I voted for Trump six times I stand for the nation anthem Any steak over medium rare is an abomination
We don’t need much, but a private dock with easy ocean access and a good view is a must.
Any advice? Time horizon is 3 maybe 4 years.
P It doesn't really matter what type Place you buy, because you're going to rebuild it every 3-4 years because of a hurricane.

Ocean Springs will be close to some of the same nuts you have in Oregon. Plenty of liberals there to tell you what to do. They lost their minds over someone killing a damn rooster walking around town recently. I have lived in MS all my life. Grew up in Long Beach about 2 blocks from the Gulf. Been through ever hurricane since Camille in 1969. I would recommend Pass Christian on the scenic drive above hwy 90 if you want to live on the Gulf.

Except for that's not the Gulf that lies across the street. It's the Mississippi Sound. That area is very nice, has good elevation and the price reflects it.

Good luck down there if that's where you end up. Swapping salmon for redfish? salmon = sea lion food

If you aren’t dead set in the immediate coast….
Hattiesburg ain’t a bad place to live.
Specifically the Oak grove / sumrall side.
Decent size town. College town, but not buck wild.
Hour or so from the gulf.
Now days crime is everywhere, but less so in that area.

I lived in Biloxi for most of my life till a few years after high school.
It's true that sometimes hurricanes come thru and do a urban renewal on the coast but it is a nice place.
There are places like other towns that crime is present but most folks are good people.
My Mother's house did not get flooded during 1969 or every storm since.
It is located 1 block from the beach/sound.
The fishing both fresh water and salt water is not bad,last time i went home we went out south of cat island and made a day of catching reds and speckled sea trout.
Hunting is not far from the coast and there are hunting clubs that lease property as well as public.
Tags are pretty liberal.
Wished i was there now.

Bay St Louis and Ocean Springs are the nicest towns on the MS Gulf Coast, Pass Christian is an honorable mention. Don’t overlook Alabama, it’s got a nice coast. Dauphin Island, Fairhope, Point Clear, Gulf Shores & Orange Beach depending upon what you want. I think AL taxes 401k distributions unlike MS though. Both MS and AL have great fishing. Yeah, we get hurricanes. Pretty much anywhere I’d want to live has them.

Well, I’m working on flexibility of thought and I’m open to other ideas.
We originally considered Texas but property taxes are through the roof.
I need to be close to salt water fishing and my wife wants to live on water. Not just a water view but like a dock or a pier on the water.
Any more ideas?
