Pass Christian Harbor, situated at 1 South Heirn Avenue, is a historic maritime gem on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Founded in 1699 by French-Canadian explorers, the area was named for the deep-water channel known as Christian’s Pass. This harbor has evolved from a small fishing and commercial center to a significant trading hub on the Mississippi Sound. The first mainland lighthouse in Mississippi was built here in 1831, a testament to its strategic importance.
Today, Pass Christian Harbor is a sophisticated marina, formalized in 1956 with the creation of a Harbor Commission. It attracts sailing enthusiasts and luxury travelers alike, reminiscent of its 19th-century glory when it hosted the first sailing regatta on the Gulf Coast and was home to the second yacht club in the United States. The harbor’s proximity to New Orleans and its blend of salt breezes and piney woods make it an enchanting destination, offering a rich blend of history, natural beauty, and modern amenities. Despite facing the challenges of hurricanes, the harbor remains a vibrant and picturesque resort, appealing to those seeking a blend of maritime heritage and contemporary luxury.
