Built around a coastal resort settlement on Mississippi Sound, Waveland grew into a small city on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Its shoreline and residential streets lie just west of Bay St. Louis, where the bay opens into the sound. The city’s identity is inseparable from the hurricanes that shape this low-lying coast, particularly Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and from the long process of recovery that followed. Beaches, fishing waters and a relaxed, outdoors-oriented Gulf Coast rhythm define the setting more than a dense urban centre.
