In Bay of St. Louis, MS, waterfront construction is affected by saltwater exposure, tidal fluctuation, wave energy from open water fetch, and soft coastal soils that require deeper piling than inland freshwater sites. Properties on exposed bay shorelines face heavier structural requirements than those in protected coves or tidal channels. The position of each Bay of St. Louis, MS property - open water versus sheltered channel - significantly affects materials and design.
