Marina Review for Bay St. Louis Municipal Harbor

First Great Marina if you want access to lots of food and bars! We walked to 2-3 establishments on a Tuesday. Nice downtown some places were closed but plenty to choose from. We did not walk very far but were told that they had other places a little further into town. Now the Marina: Well, instruction of where my transient slip was located was vague at best! I asked multiple times. Finally, I got on google maps which had pier numbers on them then I had an idea of where I was going. Asked again to which end of the pier was my slip? North or South Side? East or West end? Well, they came back with 5 from the end of the pier which didn't really answer my question. Then the rocking from south wind! Tie it up well, you are going to need it if the wind is blowing out of the south. Improvements: Dock personnel could be more helpful. They did not even come out to help tie up. Missed a TIP! If I had not gone looking for an office I could have stayed for free! Paid cash, no receipt? Not sure if the money went to the city.

Great stop when traveling. We have been here 3 times. Restaurants within walking distance. Be prepared so go in and tie up on starboard. Once getting in not a lot of room.

Great people and fuel prices! Owner Tony is awesome! Has room for a couple boats with power on east side of slip. He mentioned has more but not sure location. Nice place to stop. Taxi will bring you to Abbeville,La. Shuck's is famous seafood restaurant in Town.

Dock w/electric and Jim is nice guy that runs it is the best I can say! Old derelict boats sunk at marina!. If you just need electric and place to stay it's good for a night. I just had no idea and stayed because by it was too late to proceed.

Bridge Barriers are under construction and bridge is closed to marine traffic that can not fit under the bridge at times. Check Coast Guard closures website and call numbers on there to check when bridge will be opening.

Great Place to visit by boat or car! Live music, Good Food! Grill Shrimp tacos w/jalapeno ranch is GREAT!!@ Gas is little pricey but if you own a boat you know its a premium on the water. Beware swing bridge clearance is 8'+- Tide. Have to call ahead to get open.

Friends recommended this place but I wasn't impressed! Dumpy hole in the wall and dock was horrible. Food was okay at best. Only choice on your burger is loaded or plain! They were very blunt about it, like they were in a hurry so make a decision so they could get to next person!! Way overrated!!

Very Nice Marina. We hadn't planned to stay but they accommodated us. Our A/C was on fritz so we got a room within walking distance. Ate at Lulu's food was good with live music. Each time we filled up they were very helpful docking & fueling then pumping boat out. We stayed here 2 nights going & 1 night on return trip. Quiet marina.

First of all fabulous people!! I called telling them my A/C broke and asked if they had a cabin/room! Had slip reservation so they said yes but 2 night minimum but since you are having difficulties we can oblige. Park boat door free we will just charge you to rent a room. Don’t end here. Show up guy helps me dock. I tell him A/C clogged with calcium need CLR where is Walmart. No problem sir I have some in office. Little while later he shows up with CLR! Can I give you tip or pay you for it? No Sir!! Hope you get it fixed! Return trip we got stuck 2 days at this marina due to locks were broke then R&R Bridge broke. Has pool to hang out at as well as restaurant. Staff is super nice.

Really nice downtown marina/Park. We were traveling during Covid so the electrical & water were open for use NO CHARGE. We stayed coming & going on our trip. Great place to stay. Lots of locals walking the park. My wife walks every morning so they have a pedestrian walking area around marina/park & downtown. Nice restaurants within walking distance. Note: Free Pumpout pump didn't work.
